Have you heard of this book?? Russell picked up a copy a month or so ago after it came highly recommend by several friends. I immediately became interested and started reading it. I have to tell you, this is one of the best books I have read in a long time. It reads like a prayer and gives you a beautiful perspective into the nature of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit and brings together in a digestible nature how they are One. I loved how it showed that our spiritual growth and understanding is a continual process and that while we may not understand why things happen the way they do initially, eventually we will unravel it if we stick with the Father. The Shack is a work of fiction, but I firmly believe that God uses all kinds of avenues to reveal Himself to us. I challenge you to pick up a copy and read it for yourself. If you have read it, tell me what you think. I would love to hear other opinions!

I love to read but I never know what to get. I hate wasting $12 on a new book that is boring! I'll try this one out :)
Matthew and my mom have read it and said it is fantastic. I have it on my agenda to read at some point. Maybe between breastfeeding and changing diapers I can fit it in....ha.
Loved this book! Hope to read it again sometime. The best part for me was the end when he realized his need to forgive in order to let go & move on.
Laurie, I just finished reading this book a couple of weeks ago and I absolutely loved it. I had a hard time with it at first because I thought "God doesn't look and act like that!" but then I realized that the reason why is because I am so guilty of putting God in a box according to who I think he is or what I think he can do in my life. I think this book brings a different message to people according to their circumstances which is very cool. I highly recommend it too!
love it love it love it!! get your kleenex :)
Yes, this is a wonderful book! I read it at the beach this summer, and fell in love with it.

SUCH a good book. A little wordy...but overall it was such a great book. It has really changed my outlook on my relationship with God! I would reccomend to anyone.
