The Shack

Boy I'm reading a great book, The Shack. Several people recommended it to me and it does not disappoint. I haven't finished it yet. The plot is that a man that had been through seminary although not very vigorous in his faith had a tragic event happen to his 6 year old daughter while camping. He is angry with God and overcome with "The Great Sadness" for 3 years until he receives a note in his mailbox from God asking him to meet him at The Shack (the place where his daughter was abducted 3 years ago.) He can't help himself but to go to see what is there. He spends time talking to God and from there it is amazing. It is fiction and not meant to be taken literally, but it does allow you to imagine the glory that waits ahead and teaches to not try to put God in a box based on our knowledge. He is so far more than we can imagine. It is funny, sad and I can't stop thinking about it. I want to share this book with all my friends.

Hope your enjoying your holidays! Having fun at my Mom's.

Yes, I finished it in a few days on my trip to NC. I couldn't put it down. I loved it.
