BJ, you were right. I could not put The Shack down. I began reading it yesterday afternoon, reluctantly put it aside during a 2 hour meeting, stayed up reading until my eyes fell shut and the book fell to the floor. I skipped work today to finish it.
Is it good? Yes.
Is it powerful? More than it is good.
Does it make sense? Explicitly.
Did it make me laugh? Lots.
Did it make me cry? As much.
Did it make me thankful? Infinitely.
Paul Young tells a wonderful story of a man's encountering his faith in the aftermath of tragic loss. He tells it in an exquisite way. The magic of The Shack is the blend of the story and its message.
No small matter that Young mingles an absolutely normal man with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit as the main characters.
The story's drama matters to each of us. The message's universal spark matters to all of us.
