PUMC, I feel like I’ve been on an Emmaus walk as a new pilgrim- but all I’ve done is read a book. The warm and fuzzy feeling I’ve had now for several days just won’t leave and I welcome it. I guess you could say I’m on a “spiritual high”.
I feel compelled to blog today about this wonderful, life changing book I just recently finished. Yes it is fiction, but the message is loud and clear to all of us. The book tells us of a God that is awesome, wonderful, almighty, and sovereign, among other things.
The Shack has to be one of the best books I’ve read to date. It has been on the book shelves and best seller list for a while but I am just discovering it and so glad I did. My brother in law, Max, is the first to introduce this book to me and others. One person in our congregation has already purchased and given out 20 copies of this book.
I encourage you to read it. Although, not everyone has the same reaction to the book I’ve had. Most do, some don’t. So, realize this is a personal opinion from me.
I do WARN You. This is a very intense story and someone who has lost a person to a tragedy may have trouble getting through some of this material. If you can get past chapter 4, you will find the book turns to a life changing encounter you will not soon forget.
If you do read The Shack, I want to hear from you and your opinion. I think it will open us up for some great fellowship and sharing time.
