    1. What led to the writing of this book/resource called Mile Marker in the first place? Why does this matter?

    3. There are six mile markers highlighted in this resource, what are these six and why?
    4. How does the book work? Is this for a mom of an infant, a parent with a preteen, or a family with a graduating senior?
    5. What’s an encouragement to a parent picking this book up and jumping in midway through an age or stage in their child’s life? How is this book just as helpful to parent in the middle of the journey as it is to parent at the beginning of their child’s life?
    Highlights:
    • A mile marker is biblical. God used many examples of marking a moment in time that helps us remember how He is working and moving.
