Contingency: Between the Lines

Description

This workbook is designed to take you deeper into the story of Chuck and Bobbi Molinsky—beyond the narrative and into the heart of their spiritual and emotional journey.

Stories have power. They can entertain us, certainly, but the best stories do much more—they illuminate truth, challenge our perspectives, and invite us to examine our own lives through the lens of others’ experiences. Contingency is such a story. Through Chuck and Bobbi’s journey of betrayal, pain, and, ultimately, reconciliation, we glimpse profound truths about forgiveness, trust, and God’s redemptive work in broken relationships.

This workbook invites you to pause at key moments in their journey and reflect on the biblical principles at play. For each chapter, you’ll find:

Reflections, Scripture, and Discussion Questions that connect the narrative to biblical truths, helping you explore how God’s Word speaks to the challenges faced by the characters—and perhaps by you. The reflections offer a simple statement of a principle at work in that chapter. You are free to agree or disagree but do take the time to consider. These are followed by a relevant Scripture. Then there are questions that prompt discussion or comment.

Personal Application Questions that bridge the gap between the story and your own life, inviting honest self-examination and spiritual growth. These questions are designed to help you connect the Scripture and the story to your own experience.

Character Journal Entries offering glimpses into the inner thoughts and feelings of key characters at pivotal moments, providing additional perspective on their spiritual and emotional journeys.

Book Group Discussion Questions designed to foster meaningful conversations about the themes, characters, and moral complexities of the story.

Whether you’re reading alone, with a spouse, or in a group setting, this workbook offers an opportunity to move beyond passive reading to active engagement with the text. The story of Chuck and Bobbi isn’t just their story—it echoes elements of our own. Their struggles with trust, forgiveness, and reconciliation mirror challenges many of us face in our own relationships.
