Check out "The Shack"

I just finished reading a fabulous book! Some of you may be familiar with this book; “The Shack” by Wm. Paul Young.

This book was recommended by a good friend that received it as a gift after her teen son died. She is reading it for the second time and her and her husband are forming a support group around the book and its message.

Though this book relates to those that have lost a loved one, specifically a child, I gained a lot from it too, as a survivor of child abuse. It helped me to see so many things in a new light and perspective; from why it happened, why God let abuse happen to me, forgiving my abusers and more.

I highly recommend this book to anyone that is hurting and/or suffering or anyone that just wants to learn more about why things happen and why God lets them happen. Or just plain and simply want to grow closer to God.

I will warn you that you may start thinking, “this is crazy”, “it makes no sense”, or other thoughts when you first begin, but give the book a chance, as read more and more it will start to make sense to you and will give you a new way of looking at God, Jesus, and life.

I am going to read this book again so I can really dive into its meaning even more now that I understand more about it’s message because there is just so much to take in and I want to make sure I didn't miss anything!

If you have read this book, I encourage you to share your experience. I also invite you to check out the website and forums for this book by click on the posting title above.

May God bless you and your journey of healing and growth.
