The Shack by William Young is one of the most popular Christian books being read today. I had never heard of it and some of my friends were talking about it so I asked what it was.
Let me further explain that both Christians and non-Christians are reading this book written by William P. Young. It is a story of what happens to the parents of a small child who was taken away from them and murdered. So sad. I just hate this kind of story, but since God helped the parents on their journey all through the book, I decided to investigate.
It seems to be on sale everywhere I go, from the lobby of my church to Barnes and Noble. Everyone is talking about it. It is causing people who do not go to church to talk about God and the Bible. This is a good thing.
You see, in this story, God sees and knows the suffering that these parents are going through. He sees the suffering every parent who loses a child goes through. So he steps in as only God, our loving heavenly father, can do, and he comforts and heals this mom and dad in the midst of the greatest pain they will ever go through.
What a loving God we have. This book will really minister to you if you are a believer. You will cry and hurt with the parents, but you will also know that God is in control and has the ability and power to help you through anything you will go through. If you are not a believer, my prayer is that you will long to know God after reading this book.
There is actually a web site that you can go to to read more about The Shack by William Young. It is at http://theshackbook.com/index.html You can read reviews and even read the first chapter there. It is well written and it will touch your heart.
