A note from The QBQ! Daughter
When the QBQ! idea was first created by my dad, John G. Miller, as a method for practicing personal accountability, the primary market was the corporate world. As he traveled the country speaking on his books QBQ! The Question Behind the Question and Flipping the Switch, Christians in the audiences heard the Gospel underpinning the QBQ! message. Over time, people asked us to develop a tool to help them study personal accountability in connection to God’s Word. So we did—and here it is!
Specks & Planks is a seven week program designed for the individual who wants to learn through self-study, as well as for small groups, book clubs, and Sunday school classes. For group learning, Specks & Planks is structured so that each participant completes the week’s "assignment" before coming together with others to discuss application for everyday living. Each week consists of chapter readings from QBQ! and Flipping the Switch, as well as fill-in-the-blank key points, supporting Scriptures, and reflection questions contained in the workbook. Although any question can be explored as a group, certain questions are marked. Unless otherwise noted, for group discussion with the symbol "
" all Scripture references are from the New Living Translation (2004). Having a copy of this version of the Bible on hand is not necessary, but strongly encouraged. And, of course, the books QBQ! and Flipping the Switch are essential.
We are thrilled and honored that you have chosen to join us in this meaningful study. We pray these seven weeks will be a journey that is challenging, enlightening, and sometimes just plain fun. Please do not hesitate to let us know how Specks & Planks adds value to your world. We’d love to hear from you!
