The Shack

I just finished reading The Shack by William P. Young, as recommended by Stacy. I am blown away. If you have not read it, read it now! It is a mindblowing work of fiction that is so inspiring and boundary erasing. I don't want to give anything away. Let's just say that although it is fiction, you will walk away, either with a changed perspective of who God is, or at least questioning who you perceive Him to be. It is so simple, yet so complex. God's love for us is so deep and so infinite that we cannot even comprehend it. I know that I tend to run from it, and hide from it because I don't deserve it. Which is almost laughable after reading this. It makes me wonder how on earth did I make everything so complicated? He loves me. He loves me, and you and every one of his children in a capacity that goes beyond our understanding as humans. The closest illustration is how we love our own children, good or bad, naughty or nice. I'm just so inspired. I want to be in a close relationship with Him. Let go of the guilt and just be, and live in His love. And let His love pour out to all those around me. The book also gives an amazing illustration of the trinity. It's just cool. Read it now!!! You won't be disappointed!
