The Shack

Yesterday I started and finished the most amazing work of fiction that I have read in a decade. It has staunch supporters and very vocal detractors. There has been much ado about a little book called The Shack.


Let me just say that this story embodies the most personal portrayal of the God-man dynamic that this blogger has ever seen. If you are happy in your religiosity, then please do not read this book because it will shake the religious cobwebs from your heart to experience our Abba Father in a completely fresh way.

The author, William Young, paints a stunning picture of the Trinity and shows how from the relationship within the Godhead flows the love that is our Father God. He manages to put into words the thoughts that I have been trying to formulate but did not have the capacity to express. I can tell you that I will never view my relationship with Papa in the same light again.

If you are ready to go deeper with God, if you long to move past the form and function of "Church" as usual, if you crave a truly personal relationship with your Father, then you should beg, borrow, or buy a copy of this book.

The Shack will absolutely breathe a breath of fresh air into your spiritual life. Not since I read Hinds Feet On High Places has a work of fiction moved me this completely toward a deeper walk with Father.

If I had the financial wherewithal to do it, I would buy 3 or 4 cases of this book and give a copy to everyone I know and some that I don't know. It is just that good. Please, if you have not read this book yet, drop whatever you are doing and do whatever you have to do to get a copy of The Shack. You will not regret it!

Please enjoy your reading of The Shack. I look forward to hearing how much it touched and changed your life. I, for one, will not be the same.

Oh, and Papa wanted me to tell you that "He is especially fond of you."
