A Bit of Book Review

Okay, I'm going to rave for a few minutes about a book I recently read. "The Shack" is pretty incredible IMHO. This book is totally focused on getting us out of our preconceived notions of how G-d relates to us and how we often mistake His meaning, intentions, and His love for all.

This book helped to draw me back to the inner relationship that is what Christ died for. We often mistake casualness for disprespect, but in this book I could really see that disrespect comes from judging the Creator of the Universe and from my own inner mistrust.

This book is totally awesome! I'm going to read it again and again, and also just try to remember to soak up the love that is offered to me, and trust that the Lord knows what He is doing in my life and in the lives of those that I love.

I highly recommend this book--maybe not for every believer, maybe you don't have any questions about how G-d does things. But I did.

I will also point out that the reason I bought this book to read, is because several of my friends and coworkers--who aren't all that religious--are reading and talking about it. This book was a total surprise to me and since I don't want to spoil that surprise for anyone else, I'm not including any spoilers.
