If you are not sure about God's love for you, and want to read about a captivating true story, read THE SHACK. It is about a journey of a man who loses his daughter to a serial child killer. He travels back to where her possessions were found, and presumably where the killer took her life. Through a supernatural encounter with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, Mack was able to come to terms with his own pain. He comes to understand how he has wrongly accused God for the tragedies in his life, and most of all truly forgive, not only Missy's killer but his own father for the pain he inflicted. THE SHACK is an absolute page turner. One minute I was crying for him, and for my own realization of God's love for me. A few lines later, I was laughing. I began to unearth my own misconceptions of our Lord and come to terms with the fact that our perceptions are NOT always right. And because of our wrong perceptions, we have wrong emotions attached to them. Please do not get me wrong, this is not "churchy" or stale. This is a book of love, of divine intervention for a man drowning in his own despair. Held captive by his pain, and ultimately the triumph he has had through the understanding of God's love for him. Read it, I promise you will not be disappointed!
