The Shack - Book Review

A friend of mine sent me a wonderful book the other day. The book was so good I finished it in one day. It is called "The Shack" by William Paul Young.

It is a story about a man who had a very hard childhood. His father was an alcoholic and beat him. Then after he was married and had a family, he had something very traumatic happen. He blamed God for this. So God wrote him a letter inviting him to meet with God. The man decides to take him up on the invitation. Since the man had never known a loving father, it is hard for him to trust God. God shows him in a very caring and often humorous way that he is loved. The conversations the man had with God were so insightful that I know the book had to be Divinely inspired. What validated this thought for me was an acknowledgement in the book that the author only had $200 for an advertising budget and because of word of mouth, it is now on the New York Times Best Seller List. With God, you don't even need an advertising budget. He takes care of everything for you.

"The Shack" is an amazing story that will make you laugh and cry and possibly change the way you think about your relationship with God. I recommend it highly.

Thanks for letting me share this with you.
Have a miraculous day.
