About
As Christians, we believe that Jesus has invited us into a new kind of life with him-one that is full, free, and for others. And yet many of us don't actually experience this promised life. We continue to act out of fear, withhold grace, refuse forgiveness, drown in worry, return to old habits, tolerate distraction, and harbor a desire to be right. While inspirational stories abound in our world and fill the devotional books on our shelves and apps on our phones, inspiration does not equal transformation. Transformation only happens when we open ourselves in God's presence and align with His work in us and the world. But many of us just don't know how to do this or where to begin. This book provides a way.
Sacred Questions invites readers into a daily personal practice of reading Scripture and responding to questions arising from the text about God, themselves, and others. Guiding readers over a yearlong journey into an open posture and daily heart examination and reflection, the book helps them see themselves more clearly, understand more about who God is, break patterns of sin, and grow in forgiveness and love. One day at a time, readers learn how to partner with God in their transformation into Christlikeness and live the full, free, and others-centered life Jesus offers.

"God designed Scripture to speak to us, to speak to you and to me, to speak to each of us-daily and deeply. We often don't hear from God daily or deeply because we are afraid to listen to the sacred questions God's Word provokes in us as we read. Instead of listening to those sacred questions, we too easily skirt and suppress and slide away from the deep questions the Bible provokes. But Kellye Fabian designs this book with pastoral sensitivity and theological depth to permit those questions, then to listen to those questions, and finally to seek answers by listening to what God is saying in his ever-new-and-fresh Word. Sacred Questions is designed to promote sacred faith seeking sacred understanding."
Scot McKnight, Julius R. Mantey Chair of New Testament, Northern Seminary
"Kellye has been a friend for years, and I've had the privilege of being guided by both her questions and her prayers many times in those years. Kellye's intelligence and depth and creativity shine through every page, and I'm so delighted that her gentle and wise questions and prayers have now been captured in a format that will allow so many people to experience their transformative power."
Shauna Niequist, author of five books, including Present over Perfect and Savor
"A significant crisis in contemporary Christianity is our difficulty relating Scripture to life. What we lack isn't information but integration. Kellye Fabian knows the power of good questions. They invite honesty, wonder, and a loving response to what is most real. If you have the courage to ask the questions in this book, it will change your life."
