In the Bible, we often see instances of God asking people questions. According to Philip Greenslade's book "God's Questions," these questions are not posed because God lacks knowledge but rather to help us deepen our understanding of Him and gain insight into ourselves. The article from CompellingTruth.org highlights a couple of key reasons why God asks questions: Call to Action: >Teach Spiritual Lessons: >Objectives: From Questions to Applications: A Guided Exploration of God's Questions is written with the following objectives in mind: To show how God uses questions not only to reveal His intent and purpose for His children but also to discover how His questions shine a light on our souls and spirit.To understand that the questions God asked men and women of old are still being asked by Him of our generations today. For example, when God asked Adam, where are you? It is a relationship question between the almighty God and those who believe in Him. Perhaps, we can hear God asking us that same question when straying from where He had intended for us.To study, reflect and meditate on the inspiration questions' inspirational application and relevance to the reader. For example, on reading a question, can you hear God speaking to your situations, relationship with Him? How close or far away is your life journey with Him?It is estimated that there are up to 3298 questions in the Scriptures, some of which are very poignant and, though directed at people in the Old and New Testaments, are still relevant to Christians and all people in our days. The first book is divided into two parts: the first set of questions focuses on the "personal identity of man and his relationship with God" They explore topics such as self-awareness, purpose, and morality. The questions in this section are designed to help individuals understand their place in the world and their relationship with God. They encourage introspection and self-reflection, asking readers to consider their thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. These questions also help readers explore God's nature and His role in their lives. By examining topics such as temptation, sin, and forgiveness, these questions encourage readers to reflect on their own spiritual journey and how their relationship with God shapes their identity. The questions in part two focus on God's nature, wisdom, and sovereignty. They explore topics such as God's power, authority, and judgment. These questions help readers develop a deeper understanding of God's character and role in the world. By examining topics such as creation, miracles, and prophecy, these questions encourage readers to reflect on God's power and His ability to work in the world. They also investigate the relationship between God's sovereignty and human free will, asking readers to consider the extent to which humans have control over their own lives.

The story of two comedians, Norman Riddell and Freddy Foster. Narrated by Freddy as he dismembers his long-time partner Norman, who has goaded him into releasing him from Motor Neurone Disease in a messy mercy killing. The killer's reflections on their life together, from their sixties 'heyday' in to the present gruesome scene in London hint at a compassion that somehow survives long years of contempt, clichés, cock-ups. Fragmented glimpses into a seemingly disturbed mind draw us into the cynical, seedy world of middle-of-the-road British light entertainment. This milieu and the society it reflects are dissected as thoroughly as Norman's torso, and shown to be as insidious and debilitating as the disease that eventually ends the decades-old, mediocre career. As we piece together the biography of this double act, we witness the terminal decline of their old school comedy and the closing of ranks against them in the lucrative world of tv family entertainment. Time and time again, stardom eludes the pair, and they are replaced by up-and-coming nonentities. Norman and Freddy persist, with Janice at their side, always one step behind success. Norman veers between complacency and rage about their second-rate status, paddling in the mainstream then waxing bitter about their unenlightened audience. As in all the best memoirs, the narrator's reflections offer an oblique insight to the social, cultural and political times he lives through. Freddy's hobnobbing leads to encounters with the biggest names of the day. The real and the fictional conspire in this darkly comic story to portray a deeply dysfunctional society. The central motif of Motor Neurone Disease and the physical collapse it brings mirrors a decay in modern Britain.
