The Shack

So I just finished reading The Shack and I'm not really sure how to describe it.  If you haven't read it and plan to, don't worry, I won't give away too much info.  The book is about a man who is dealing with the murder of his young daughter who was murdered in this shack.  He receives a note requesting him to "meet me at the shack this weekend."  This is where the story begins.  

Waiting there for him are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, each in very real and human form.  The way the author portrays each of them individually is very eye opening.  For a very conservative, Southern Baptist raised Christian, I was at first offended.  However, since my mother had recommended the book, I figured it couldn't be all that bad, so I kept reading.  After finishing the book, I was very glad I did.  I won't say much more so I won't give too much away, but if you've got an open mind and are willing to explore things a bit, I would suggest you read it.  While reading the book, I found my new favorite quote:

Faith does not grow in the house of certainty.
