Here are a few of the Thought Questions Jeff asks readers at the end of the book's first chapter. Use them to assess your level of faith:

* What does it mean to you to have a gutsy faith?

* Do you think of yourself as a person with gutsy faith? Why or why not?

* Name at least five people in the course of your life whom you see as having a gutsy faith.

* What characteristics do these people possess that you would like to see developed in your life?

Gutsy Faith: Hard Conversations With God, by Jeff Edmondson (Beacon Hill Press, 2006). For more information on the book or Jeff's other ministries, you can visit his blog at http://www.jeffedmondson.blogspot.com/
