The Shack

The Good News Today Is....I finished reading the book The Shack. Friends of mine had told me it was good, so I bought it for my daughter for Christmas. It is a pretty sure bet that she will get a book from me as a gift because I want to read it. Not only that - she thinks that's funny - so I'll keep doing it and we will both get to read good books! When I buy it for her she gets to read it first of course - and she liked it, too. Anyway, it challenged me in a lot of ways. It flings religious conventions right out the door and then down the street, too! That was pretty refreshing! There are a lot of great messages in this book. One in particular is about free will and the love that it takes to allow it. "When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other." Ecc 7:14
