This blog is the webpage for our local Peculiar Treasures club. We meet monthly for book discussion (Robin Jones Gunn books), games, fellowship and time to grow together in our walk as "God Lovers" and "Peculiar Treasures" (Exodus 19:5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:)


As a service to others, I have decided to post our discussion questions for you to use. Look in the side bar for links to the questions. Check back each month as I will add books as we get to them. Just a warning, the questions include many spoilers if you haven't already read the books. So, if you don't want the story line spoiled for you, please read the books before you look at the questions!! I hope you find them helpful!
Feel free to add any additional questions that you think of to our comment boxes.

Discussion Questions for Suprise Endings

1. What are some of the challenges that Christy faced in this book? Can you relate to any of them?

2. Todd memorized the 13th chapter of 1 Corinthians in this book. The chapter that describes what real love is. What are some examples of this kind of love that we saw portrayed in this book?

3, In a future book, Christy makes a statement that Todd is not as perfect as everyone thinks he is. Can you think of some examples of areas where Todd could improve in this book?

4. What are some areas that Christy needs work on? Did she show improvement by the end? How?

5. Discuss the incidents that happened on the ice cream date. Both Todd and Christy were presented with situations that could cause jealousy. How did they handle those situations? What does the "love chapter" have to say about jealousy? What did you learn from this chapter of the book? What did Christy learn?

6. Christy helped Alissa without realizing how much her words meant. Does this encourage you to be a witness to those around you who may be making some bad decisions? How do our actions and examples encourage others?

7. Why did Christy give up her position on the cheer team? What kind of pressures and influences did she have that might have made that decision difficult? Have you ever had to make a hard decision like that in obedience to God?

8. Christy had a lot of people giving her advice and trying to influence her decisions. Who were some of these people and what were they trying to get her to do? Were they giving good or bad advice? How can we know who we should listen to?

9. Why do you think Todd took Jasmine to the prom?  Why did he believe that Christy would understand his decision to do so?  Do you think he should have taken Jasmine? What kind of relationship do Christy and Todd have at this point? Is it a healthy relationship?

10. How do you feel about the relationship that Rick and Christy had? Was it a healthy relationship? What was Rick's motivation for befriending Christy and encouraging her to go out for cheer and to go to the prom? Were his motivations pure?

11. What did Katie learn from her experience with the prom? What did Christy learn from Todd, Rick and Katie about proms and relationships?

12. What were your favorite and least favorite parts of this book? What is the most important lesson you learned from this book?
