Christy Miller’s senior year is delicious, especially the time she spends with Todd. But her best friend, Katie, is struggling—she’s realized she needs to break up with Michael. It’s not easy! Fortunately both Doug and Disneyland help Katie to cheer up. Christy is learning to let go and get out of the way so that her friends can become who they’re meant to be...even when it jeopardizes her own sweet dreams.
* Why was Christy's friendship with Katie stressed? What did Christy decide to do about it?
* Have you ever had a time when a friendship was struggling? What did you do?
*Why was Katie so surprised when Christy showed up at her car? Why did she react like she did?
*Have you ever had a time when God spoke clearly to you and you didn't like what he had to say? Have you ever been mad at God or thought He was unfair? What happens when we disobey God?
*What was Todd's advice to Christy about how to handle the situation with Katie? Was this good advice? How did it help Christy relate to Katie's problems? Have you ever had a time when you had to let go, stop trying and just wait for God to take care of things?
*Todd tells Christy that he always prays for her. How does this make Christy feel? Have you ever been in a relationship with someone who prays for you?
*Have you ever tried to witness to someone and they just won't believe? Why does it seem like some people are easier to witness to? Why did Fred respond differently than Michael or Bob and Marti? Who really changes hearts?
*Why wouldn't Christy tell Katie to break up with Michael?
*Why do you think God didn't want Katie to date Michael?
*How did Michael react when Katie broke up with him the second time? Did he react like she expected him to? Why? How did it affect her witness to him?
*What was Todd's dream/call? Did Christy share the same dream? Did she think this was a problem? Do you think it was?
*What was Todd thinking about in the treehouse? Do you think his call was changing or did you think he was just getting a clearer picture of God's purpose for him?
*What did Todd tell Christy on the boat? Why did he react so strongly to her wanting to be with him?
*How did Todd get Bob and Marti to go to church? How did they react to the service? Where they able to receive the message? Why?
*The Pastor preached on Jesus's message that there is no greater love than when a man lays down his life for a friend and that we are truly Christ's disciples when we obey to the point of giving up what is most precious to us. How do we see this type of love acted out in this book? Do we see it in more than one scenario?
*What did Katie and Christy learn from the incident with the police officer about consequences? How did Christy apply that lesson to Katie's situation with Michael?
*What are Todd's thoughts on the prom? What do you think about that?
*What decision does Todd make about his future? Why do you think he made that decision? What did Christy do about it? Why? Do you think she did the right thing?
*Why didn't Todd want Bob and Marti to get too comfortable at the church?
*Is it always easy to do God's will? Are we spared from pain by doing the right thing? Does it always feel right? Why?
