This 12-week study includes such topics as "Intimacy with God", "Restoring Relationship", and "Compassion, the Heart of Jesus' Ministry". The creators of this series, two United Methodist pastors, state: "'Living the Questions' seeks not to provide easy answers, but to be a resourse for people who are in the midst of a life-long conversation about the mysteries of faith and life."
