The Shack

This blog will occasionaly be posting book reviews, this is the first. I just (literally 5 minutes ago) finished a book that I recently picked up, The Shack. I've heard a lot of great things about it so I decided that I would have to see for myself, and I'll have to say that it is incredible! This book is really great and I would highly recommend it to anyone, whether you belive in God or not, young or old, whatever your lifestyle...its great. It gives you a fresh, new, comforting breath of life. I thought that I was doing just fine but when I picked up this book I realized how confused I was on different issues and thoughts...and The Shack really cleared up some things for me. It is a fictional book and some may think it is controversial, but I think you should read it with an open mind. So some of you may be getting this book pushed on you or receiving it as a gift from me...so you may actually just want to go and buy it yourself. Because when I find a great book I think it is my duty to society to push it on them and tell them how wonderful and eye opening it is.

And to end, here is a quote from the book:
"Marriage is not an institution. It's a relationship." Jesus paused, his voice steady and patient. "Like I said, I don't create institutions; that's an occupation for those who want to play God. So no, I'm not too big on religion," Jesus said a little sarcastically, "and not very fond of politics or economics either." Jesus' visage darkened noticeably. "And why should I be? They are the man-created trinity of terrors that ravages the earth and deceives those I care about. What mental turmoil and anxiety does any human face that is not related to one of those three?"
-Wm. Paul Young
