The Shack

I am reading a book that has really captured my life at this moment. It has significantly moved my thinking to another time and space. It has reminded me of who God really is and how He revealed Himself to me when I needed Him most. This view of God had become cloudy but now it is clearer and this book helped me see again.

When I was sitting in the hospital with Elijah I saw, felt and experience God deeper than I ever have in my life. He was so real. I knew He was with me. I couldn't have made it through without Him. He showed Himself as a God of love, patience and understanding. I knew that He was in control and that whatever happened He would be there with me and that made everything OK.

The book The shack has brought this picture of God back to my understanding. Reminding me of His constant love and care. If I could buy it for everyone I know I would. I know some with not accept it. Some because they cannot move from their own view of God and others because they don't want to know Him. It doesn't matter. Even if you read this book just for the story it will touch your life. It is a novel, an allegory, but it is so much more.
