The Shack


It's been raining here all day, and I couldn't think of a better time to curl up with The Shack and finally finish it. I bought it a couple of weeks ago, and have been reading it in portions since then. For me, it was a pretty intense book, and was a lot to take in all at once. Usually, I can plow right through a book, but this one was hard for me to read straight through. Even now, I am not sure I have comprehended much of the conversations that occured in the book. I think I may give it a second read to let the words twirl around in my head and see if I can wrap my mind around the concepts that are presented. It's not too often that a work of fiction makes me question things in my own life, but The Shack was that kind of book for me. Maybe it will be for you....

I read this about 6 months ago and cried my way through most of it...it's amazing how a book written by someone I've never met could speak so clearly to my own life. As soon as I recover, I too will be giving it a second read :)
