Hi JRCBlogger. Thank You for terrific study on Wild at Heart. Could you tell me why there was no study on Chapter 9. I have enjoyed doing this study and have already received considerable healing working through it and the book. I have only just discovered your Blog and pray Gods Blessing on you and it.
Your Brother in Christ.

Richard, I happen to be on vacation with my family when the group studied Chapter 9, so unfortunately they did not discuss formal questions that week. Glad you are enjoying the study, God's blessing on your garden.
Ha! I was about to ask the same question as Richard.
John -- I see nothing here prohibiting use of this material. If you don't mind, I'm going to use it with my Friday morning men's group as we study Wild as Heart. Is that OK with you? Thanks!

John -- if you want, you can post these questions for people like Richard, who are looking for chapter nine. They are different, but may be useable. They're mine. The format kind of follows yours.

Wild at Heart – Chapter 9
Reading Assignment: Chapter 9 – A Battle to Fight: The Strategy
Discussion Questions
1. In light of 1 Peter 5:8-9, do you think we tend to over-emphasize of under-emphasize the idea that we are fighting a spiritual battle (pp. 158-160)? Where is the correct perspective in thinking of the enemy’s involvement in our lives? What does that perspective mean to us?
1 Peter 5:8 - 9 (NIV) 8Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
2. What are some things / areas that Satan attacks in general (pp. 160-161)? Specifically, what has he / does he attack in your life?
3. What are some lies that Satan like to tell us? What doubts does he bring up in our lives?
4. How might Satan work to intimidate Christians (pp. 165-169)? Is it logical for us to fall prey to intimidation? How do we resist such intimidation?
5. What does it mean to “cut a deal” with the devil (pp. 169-170)? Why would anyone do that?
6. What are the “weapons of war” (pp. 171-176)? Tell how a Christian might use one weapon. How have you used one?
7. What do you think of “Honor Wounds” discussed on page 176? Can you be wounded without being bitter?
Hey guys, this is jrcblooger, feel free to use the material as is helpful for encouraging other men.
