Just finished reading “The Shack” by William P. Young. Few books can change your relationship with God, and your view of the world around you. This, my friend, is one of them. After reading this delightful book, my concept of God has been totally rocked to the core. It allows the nature of God to be seen as being totally good even whilst reconciling the truth that He is totally sovereign, with the truth that He is totally good, and never desires that any tragedy comes to our lives. Through this story, the author weaves a beautiful picture of God’s heart, and the place of tragedy, pain and brokenness within His plans for us. Be warned, “The Shack” will slice through every sacred cow in your religious repertoire. I have friends that are giving copies of this book to every new person that goes to their church. You should read it, and then do likewise.

Thanks for the review. It is a beautiful story. I reviewed The Shack on my blog today too. See http://heartofwisdom.com/blog
@Robin: Welcome Robin. Nice of you to drop by! Read your review of The Shack. You have done an awesome job of it!
We’re giving them out to new people at church. Costco is selling them now which is huge in the states. We recommend it on our website. It’s MUST read for anyone who has been hurt, which means everybody breathing.
