The Shack

I read The Shack and it is life changing in regards to forgiveness and removing " your hands from the throats" of those who are burdens. It also was enlightening to think about how forgiveness is important for your self improvement, but forgiveness does not guarantee a relationship. Focus on forgiving those that have hurt you and you will begin to fill peace inside.

A strange thing happened to me with this book. I was looking at the group to find a good read and I came across the first posting for "The Shack". I wrote it down on my book list so I could pick it up next time I went to the bookstore.

The next day my friend calls and says that a friend had given her a book to read but she was already reading something else and wanted to know if I was interested in a good spiritual book. I said sure...what's the name of it. She replied, "The Shack". Divine intervention? You decide.

Wow! Sounds like a great book. I'll read it too. Forgiveness doesn't mean that the wrong that was done to you is OK, it just means that you aren't going to let the negative act torture you mentally any longer.

Hugs,
Beth

Back of the book reads:

Mackenzie Allen Philips's youngest daugher, 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!
