The Shack Book

As I said in one of my previous posts, I was reading a wonderful book called The Shack by WM. Paul Young. The reason I wanted to make a post about this book is because I honestly think every one should read it once. This book could change the world for the better. Am I giving credit to the author or the book itself? Absolutely not! It is God through the writer, and God using this book as a tool to touch hearts. I will admit there were a few things I didn't agree with like the very few, spread out curse words through out the book. The first appearance of God or "Papa"  in the book will definitely take you by surprise and may even confuse you but it all pulls together a little later. This book made me stop and think about so much in my life and while I still believe we ARE to try and live our lives like Jesus I don't think the few issues I have with this book should stop anyone from reading it. I can honestly say my heart has been softened and tenderized by this book. My passion for the Lord has increased greatly and I love Him more than ever. You will cry, you will laugh, you will smile, and you will find yourself even stopping to let things sink in and talk to God. 

"This story reads like a prayer   like the best kind of prayer, filled with sweat and wonder and transparency and surprise. If you read one work of fiction this year, let this be it." - Mike Morrell, Zoecarnate. com

I could not agree more with the quote above, "If you read one work of fiction this year, let this be it." I pray you choose to read this book soon, and I pray that it will change your heart as you come to know God as "Papa". :)
