The Shack

I have just finished reading The Shack by William P. Young. May God give me the words to say to express how this book has impacted me. As I read this book, I laughed (out loud), I cried, I reflected and I received revelation. A deeper revelation and understanding of God, of Jesus and of The Holy Spirit. As my sister in Christ, Laura, put it "your religion will be blown out of the water (in a good way)." I truly believe this book to be inspired by God. He wants us to know Him, in His fullness, as intimately as He knows us. He knows our every thought. He knows every hair on our heads (or lack of - whichever the case may be). This isn't just a book that I've read - it's a life changing look at God's truth through His heart. I borrowed this book from Laura, but I will be buying my own copy today. I want to read it again and I want to share it with my children and others. I believe that when I read the Bible that I will "see" things more clearly. I believe that lives are being changed and God will use different means to see that happens. He uses His Word, His Truth, his children, music, books and yes, even movies. There is talk that The Shack will be made into a movie. I say, YES, Lord, let it be!


So there - my two cents. I hope you are intrigued, but more than that, I pray that you are drawn to ALL God has given you; ALL that Jesus has provided for you; and ALL that The Holy Spirit shares with you. Remember as Papa (God in the book) says of His children, "I'm especially fond of him/her". You ARE blessed and highly favored!
