THE SHACK


A good friend of mine told me about this book,,,,,,,
Now, you have to understand, I AM NOT A READER! At times I wish I could be!!! But reading USUALLY puts me to sleep!
But my friend told me about this book and I really wanted to read it!!
So I bought it,,,,,,,,,I finished it in less than 2 weeks!( I finished it some time ago, but I am just now commenting on it) Some days I was only able to read it during my lunch hour. It just about killed me when I had to put it down!
This is a Life-Changing BOOK!
It is AWESOME!
Before I read it, I went online and read some reviews of it,,,,,,,Some of the reviews were very negative! MOST of them were positive. I realized after I read the book that the negative reviews were probably from Intellectuals who are just too "intelligent" to believe in GOD!
OR
They are too "intelligent" to believe that the God of the Universe Loves each and every one of us and even though he is INFINITE, HE is also IMMINENT! He created us to love HIM. Since creation, HE has pursued us! He wants and desires to have a PERSONAL relationship with each and every one of us!
Unfortunately, right from the Beginning of time, we as human beings CHOSE to be INDEPENDENT!
anyway,,,,,,,I am thankful that we serve a GOD who is also our FRIEND! When I hurt, HE hurts.

I am very thankful to my friend for telling me about this book!
