Birches Discussion Guide

In the film Birches, David finds it hard to handle the death of his wife Jessica. At a reunion with old friends, David discovers that he is not the only one struggling with ghosts from the past, and together they look for a way to make the future shine again. 


Adrian and Bridget Plass have designed this study guide to enable a safe place for people to discuss the wider issues that arise from watching Birches. Each of the fifteen sections includes a relevant Bible passage, a comment on issues arising from characters and situations occurring in the film, a handful of questions to  stimulate discussion, and in some cases, quotations or poems that are relevant to that theme.
