Start by praying that God would help you to learn and grow together, and to encourage each other. Then share the bits of text you each put a light bulb next to, and explain to each other why you marked them that way. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext share your question marks.

In Part 1 John looks at some of the things that the world tells us about sex (Is sex more like a Porsche or a Datsun?), beauty (Have I got 'the look' or has it got me?) and morality (Whatever happened to right and wrong?). He shows how the world has got it wrong and that God's perspective is so much better. In Part 2 he deals with a number of stumbling blocks which sometimes prevent people from trusting God (Didn't science get rid of God? How can I trust the Bible? Where is God when it hurts? What about other religions? Won't God accept me if I'm good enough?)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Part 3, John looks at the 'guts of it all'—life, death, God and forgiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book also contains a study guide to help readers to think more about and discuss the issues raised in the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBooks that are clear, readable, suitable for young people and evangelistic are few and far between. \u003cem\u003eA Sneaking Suspicion\u003c\/em\u003e is a great one.
