3 Questions CoverLast year, Jim Wood preached a series of messages entitled Three Questions for supporters of Knox Area Rescue Ministries.  A widely published Christian author heard those messages and strongly encouraged Jim to turn them into a book.  The book centers around three questions that strike fear in the hearts of children but are central to every adult's life:  Who do you think you are?  Where do you think you are going?  What do you think you're doing?

Three Questions is an attractive, coffee-table book.  You can read it in a few minutes, but these questions and your answers will determine the course of your life -- both on earth and in eternity.  We highly recommend Three Questions as a gift book or conversation starter for sharing the gospel.

Three Questions
and other titles from Jim and Susan Wood are available from Wears Valley Ranch for a suggested donation of $10 per copy.  If you can't afford the donation, contact us--  we'd still like to send you the book.  If you can afford to give more, please do.  Your additional contributions will help children at Wears Valley Ranch.  Any additional contribution above $10 per book is tax deductible.

Please see the excerpt and endorsements for Three Questions below.  You can order from our website, by emailing us, or by calling 865-429-5437.

Thanks so much for your prayers and support.  We hope the book will be a blessing to you.

When I was a child...
When I was a child, there were certain questions I loved. I particularly liked it when one of my parents asked, "What would you like to do today?" I loved that question, though I think I only heard it maybe two or three times in childhood.

On my birthday Mom would ask, "What would you like for dinner?" I loved that question. I love to eat. I've always had opinions on the subjects of breakfast, lunch and supper. Therefore, I always had a ready answer to that question.
I also loved it when I was eating at someone else's house and the hostess asked, "Would you like some more?"

Those were wonderful questions, but there were other questions I didn't like.
 
You may remember hearing these questions from your childhood. They were asked rhetorically, so though no answer was expected or allowed, these questions struck fear in the heart:

Who do you think you are? Where do you think you're going? What do you think you're doing?

I hated those questions, because I knew the question meant that I was already in trouble. No answer would suffice. Any answer my childish mind might concoct would most certainly be the wrong answer.

As I got older, I learned that these questions are brilliant. Your own answers to these questions may not necessarily be true, but I can guarantee you this:
What you believe about who you are has an enormous impact on everything else in your life. What you believe about yourself affects all of your relationships. It affects the most important relationship in your life - your relationship with God.

Because these three questions are essential, I want to look at each one and find the answers in God's Word, the Bible.
Praise for Three Questions
 
Jim and I have been friends since our early teens. Before we finished high school, he already had a clear sense of God's call to do what he does today at Wears Valley Ranch.
 
This book springs from his desire to help people find their identity in Christ. Like a search light, Jim illuminates the key component to living the Christian life and that is to lean on the Holy Spirit within that has been given to each believer for wisdom, direction, and guidance through the land mines of our earthly dwelling. Christ in us is what gives us power to live in the world without compromise. I hope you'll read Three Questions. You'll be glad you did.

If you are a fan of Jim Wood's radio program, you'll love Three Questions. With his usual insightful, biblical, accessible style, Jim takes the reader on a journey through three age-old questions that have eternal significance. Every human being must struggle to answer the questions, "Who do you think you are?" "Where do you thing you're going?" and "What do you think you're doing?" However, it is only in the person and work of Christ that these questions find acceptable answers. Jim makes that clear as he focuses the reader's attention on the gospel again and again. There is much useful and helpful truth packed into this small book.

As an attorney, I know the importance of asking the right questions. In this book Jim Wood uses three questions to bring into focus the central issues of the Christian life. I have long been a supporter of Jim and his ministry at Wears Valley Ranch. The Ranch is a little bit of heaven in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. I am delighted that, through this book, Jim's teaching can bring blessing to a larger audience. Thhis book will make a great gift for friends and family.
