Chapter 7: The Spirit of Poverty

1. In what way is the spirit of poverty, defined by Sheen as dependence on God and recognition of our own unworthiness, a part of your spiritual life? Have you had a lesson in "divine trust" recently? Did it come at the price of your will, self-reliance or economic security? (page 119-120)

2. What constitutes our heavenly wealth? (page 122)

3. To what extent or in what area do we seek outside validation/compliments? How can we counteract these sources of pride? (page 123)

4. How can we keep our concern for material things in check while still tending to the needs of our family? (page 126)

5. In what ways can we practice the spirit of poverty in regard to time and self-satisfaction? (page 127)

6. How can we increase our gratitude and humility as "pardoned rebels"? (page 131)
