In my season of searching, I am reading "The Shack" by Wm. Paul Young. I am at the halfway point so cannot give it a full review, but I can tell you that you have to read it! The images of God, the questions that it raises and attempts to answer are wonderful. If you are wrestling with God, this is a good place to take your wrestling.
This is a story about a man who encounters a great sadness in his life and in the aftermath, meets with God in a shack in the mountains of Oregon. There he asks questions and receives answers that are profound and what the Bible tries to tell us but what our humanity has twisted and torn.
On the cover, Eugene Peterson who wrote The Message, writes this: "This book has the potenital to do for our generation what John Bunyon's Pilgrim's Progress did for his. It's that good!" Yep, yep...check it out!
