"The Shack" (book) attack

I just finished reading The Shack, a novel by Wm. Paul Young. As the book jacket says, "The Shack wrestles with the timeless question: Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?

It was a very thought-provoking, heart-wrenching, comforting, and exhausting read! A word of warning--if you are like me, you will pick up the book and not be able to put it back down until you're at the final page. So, get a big box of tissues, put on a pot of coffee or tea, and settle into a comfortable chair. I won't say any more about the book, because I don't want to give away the story, but I do recommend it. 

There is a web site for the book at www.TheShackBook.com
