Questions from group leaders

Is the discussion guide free?
Yes. Both the book club discussion guide and the six-session study are free to download, print, and share with your group. There is no sign-up and no email required.
Does everyone need to have read the novel to join the study?
No. Each of the six sessions stands on its own and runs forty-five to sixty minutes. Chapter references are included for those who have read Joseph: Protecting the Messiah, but they are optional.
How many discussion questions are in the book club guide?
Sixteen, grouped into sections on Joseph himself, the women around him, faith and difficult choices, the world behind Christmas, and the author's own decisions in filling the Gospel silences.
Will Michael Dupont join a book club or small group meeting?
Yes. Michael is glad to join groups by video to talk about Joseph and the research behind the novel. Email him with the date your group meets.

Reading it as a group?

Michael is glad to join book clubs and small groups by video for a conversation about Joseph, the research behind the novel, and the years the Gospels leave in silence. Write to him and say when your group meets.
