Synopsis
This is a book of questions. Just questions, no answers, though occasionally I will throw in some answer-like material to help make the question easier to understand. It is a book of questions because in my experience-in both personal scripture study and in teaching Sunday School and other lessons-questions are of more help for reflective, deep study. We learn new things when we respond to new questions, and the person who says "I no longer get anything out of my scripture study" no longer runs up against questions to think about as he or she reads. This book is intended to make reading harder-and therefore fresher-by giving such readers questions for study.

Review
“The Made Harder books will give readers a feel for how scripture actually suggests questions about itself, but more importantly, they remind us that scripture also engages us, calls to us, and not merely the other way around. Faulconer shows that to read scripture through questioning is to make ourselves available for scripture to question us in return.” --Jacob T. Baker, editor of Mormonism at the Crossroads of Philosophy and Theology
