In her autobiographical book "God Doesn't Need You," Esther Maria Magnis describes how she had a spiritual experience as a child, broke away from God after her father's death, and ultimately rediscovered Him in an unexpected, open new way. Her direct, sometimes angry language, infused with biting humor, is challenging and invites students to engage with the topic. This accompanying booklet makes the work accessible for upper-level classes. In seven double lessons, fundamental questions about the topic of "God" are explored.
