"The Shack" by W.M. Paul Young
(Small spoiler alert)
Holy Cow!!! Of all the books I have read about who God is and how much He loves us never, never have I come across anything like "The Shack". All the hype about this story put me off, but after finally picking it up I couldn't put it down. The beginning was emotional, to say the least, when Mack lost his little girl. The story then goes on to describe the relationship between God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit captivating you in such a way you can't imagine it to be anything less. Young is able to send convictions through your whole body while wrapping you with God's love all at the same time. He addresses the life long question of why does a good God allow bad things to happen. Still not sure if his take is true, but it makes some sense. After discovering that Mack and the story were not actually real cheated is the word that came to mind, then realized what an amazing job Young did to make his story come alive. If his story tugged at the heart so much and gets one thinking about reality was it really just a story?
I recommend.
