the one about The Shack

Well I have been waiting since the summer to read The Shack, and after I graduated I started it. I finished it last night and I found it to be an awesome and easy read. I don't really want to give any of the plot away, but I will say that if you are struggling with really knowing who God is and what kind of being he is, this might help you understand a little better. Even if you aren't struggling and just want a better understanding this book opens the door to that. I'm not saying this book is the answer to all of your struggles, but it definitely points you in the right direction. As I was reading the book, I continued to feel like the author was speaking right to me. It is a novel, but when I read it I felt closer to God. I know this sounds crazy. How can a book make me feel closer to God?. Well, it gave me a visual of who God The Father, The Son, and The Spirit is. While I hope that I will not be restricted to this visual only, it was good to have it. It was a perfect picture of the three of them. Obviously the author is not God, and cannot say what God looks like or how he/she acts, but based on the picture the Bible gives us, the author did a great job portraying God. I know a lot of people have been a little freaked by who the author represents God as (the human body), but it's symbolism, and no one knows what God looks like, so just go with it. All that said, I definitely recommend reading it. Even if you don't read books, this one was AMAZING! Also, you can get the audio version if you listen better than you read. READ IT!

P.S. I passed all my classes and am now officially a UTD Alum. Now I just wait for God to open the next door.
