by William Paul Young. It's about a man who spends three days struggling with God in the shack where his young daughter was murdered. I wouldn't recommend it as great literature. It is self-published and shows the inexperience of the writer. It's not great theology either. On the other hand the issue of how God can allow suffering to exist and still love us is timeless. Look at Job who lost everything and struggled with the same problem. I enjoyed our discussion last night. It was fruitful and made The Shack worth reading.

Reading the Shack
Our women's spirituality group is reading a new book, The Shack by William Paul Young. It's about a man who spends three days struggling with God in the shack where his young daughter was murdered. I wouldn't recommend it as great literature. It is self-published and shows the inexperience of the writer. It's not great theology either. On the other hand the issue of how God can allow suffering to exist and still love us is timeless. Look at Job who lost everything and struggled with the same problem. I enjoyed our discussion last night. It was fruitful and made The Shack worth reading.
