Ok, for those of you who have yet to read The Shack by William Young, it is definately an intense and hard hitting book. I think it's more intense mentally than emotionally, but it's still intense. I am not going to give any type of opinion or review at this time, as I have a quarter of it yet to read. However, I definately have an opinion, and I would like to hear yours. Let me know what you think.
What I do want to do for you is just to give a couple of quotes from the book, a little something to whet your taste. Here you are:
"I am what some would say 'holy, and wholly other than you.' The problem is that many folks try to grasp some sense of who I am by taking the best version of themselves, projecting that to the nth degree, factoring in all the goodness they can perceive, which often isn't much, and then call that God. And while it may seem like a noble effort, the truth is that it falls pitifully short of who I really am. I'm not merely the best version of you that you can think of. I am far more than that, above and beyond all that you can ask or think."
"A bird's not defined by being grounded but by his ability to fly. Remember this, humans are not defined by their limitations, but by the intentions that I have for them; not by what they seem to be, but by everything it means to be created in My image."
