Well I have joined the thousands of people who have read The Shack by William P. Young
I have to admit I was a little disappointed by it because my expectations were so high from all I had heard about it.
It is a wonderful story of a Man who has lost his little girl in a horrible nightmarish way and how God meets with him at his place of pain and finds healing.
I know a lot of Christians have freaked out over the fact that God is portrayed as a woman who listens to secular rock music in the book. Why is explained in the book and just to be fair, the way God was portrayed in Church when I was growing up was not very good either. God is over simplified in this story but I do believe that people can find healing and a closer relationship with God through reading this book, but I hope you don't stop there. Read the Bible and get the whole picture of who God is and enjoy getting to know Him.
