So let me start with funny story happened to me. I have had a couple of people recommend this book called The Shack to me all saying that it has changed there walk with God in a good way. Lets just say that I forgot to ask who the author was or maybe I just forgot to keep the name of the author with me when I found the book.
So what happens is I find The Shack by Thomas Mulholland, which if you are looking for a book with a lot of cussing and hard-knock (confusing) life story of a boy, then this might be the book for you. I will add that I do not recommend this book to anyone as of the cussing and inappropriate actions that occur in the book.
However, I was looking for a story about God and the relationship with him. This is when I text my friend and ask about the author.
She lets me know that I am looking for The Shack by William Paul Young.
The Shack
Mackenzie Allen Philips' youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation, and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later in the midst of his "Great Sadness," Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend.
Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on a wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change Mack's world forever.
In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant The Shack wrestles with the timeless question, "Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?" The answers Mack gets will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as it did him. You'll want everyone you know to read this book! (quoted by GoodReads.com)
My thoughts: I truly loved this book and it changed my heart. I believed in Jesus before this book and I still believe in him now, however I now relate to him differently.
This book is a little scary at the beginning because you know that something is going to happen to Missy but I didn’t know exactly where (I didn’t read the description that I just copied from above until after I read it). I was also scared as he went back to the shack just because it is written that well and leaves you feeling on edge.
But once we were at the shack again I couldn’t put the book down at all. I just felt like I was talking to God the whole time. And since finishing the book I have made a lot of changes in the way I relate to God.
