The Shack

I took my own advice and while on vacation in the Outer Banks, North Carolina, I read The Shack by William Paul Young.

Without giving away the “story,” I still suggest that you get a chance to read it. Not only is it a compelling and provocative story, but it has a literary quality to it that distinguishes it as a special gift. It offers one of the most poignant views of God and how he relates to humanity that has been written in our time. It will not only encourage you who already know God but will also engage those who have not yet recognized His work in our lives.

I loved the dialogue between Mack and Jesus – Jesus telling him that if he tries to live without Jesus, it will be like trying to walk on water by himself. You can’t! And, when you try, however well intentioned, you’re going to sink.
