The Shack - by William P. Young

Just finished reading it, and it has impacted my life in a way never imagined. As a christian for 50 years, I was never more aware of God's love for me than after reading this book.

Does that mean you've sat under 50 years of inadequate preaching?

Why would it mean that?

It just seems to me that "gods love for" a person should be one of the primary mainstays of preaching...you know for God SO LOVED etc etc.

If you've been around 50 years and havent been able to realize that it just seems that the preaching you have received is somewhat inadequate.

I wouldn't say that.

I think it's more that the Holy Spirit reveals more and more of the depth of God's Love to us as we grow.


Paul said that we would see through a clouded window until we cross over and then we can see all.


I am glad that God doesn't reveal all to us at once. I think it would be overwhelming.


I'm also glad that God continues to give us new wisdom and knowledge that keeps our relationship fresh and new.


Brenda is reading the book now and I am looking forward to it next.
God Bless You
