Two days ago I decided to read The Shack. I’m sure most of you have heard about it by now. I had heard people talking about it a few times over the past few months, but it never seemed like anyone said anything specific except “It’s good.” I understand that better now…. I think. I love to read and was looking for a book and there it was. So I started it. And now I’ve finished it.

This is one of those books that I will need to sit with and digest for a bit before making up my mind about it. It was definitely hard to put down. Very thought-provoking. Interesting and a bit strange. Beautiful in parts. There are several lines in this book that made me want to jump up and get a highlighter and that never happens to me unless I’m reading the bible or a bible study. Not just a “book” book. Of course I didn’t get up and get the highlighter (most likely because I was in the bubble bath where I do most of my reading) so now I’m going to have to go through the book again to find them. But it will be time well-spent.

Would I recommend this book? Absolutely. It’s an easy read and a fairly short book and is definitely worth taking the time to read it. I can’t talk much about it without spoiling the whole thing but I am interested in what others think of it. Especially my church friends. I will say that it has given me a lot to think about regarding my relationship with the Lord and any thing that gets me doing that gets a thumbs up from me!

Tell me what you thought of it if you’ve read it and want to share. I’ll be back to revisit this in a few days. And if you haven’t read it, get started!!!
