A LIFE-CHANGING book...seriously

So, I admit, I am an avid reader. I LOVE to read. But I read the most incredible book this week, highly recommended, and then bought FOR ME, by my parents (also avid readers). But don't be scared if you're not a reader--well, if you're literally illiterate--this one may be a tough first book--but then again, you're reading my blog, so...anyway...


The book is "The Shack", by William P. Young. It is a novel, and it's written about a horrific tragedy. It deals with the issue 'how can a good God allow such terrible things to happen?' But it's more than that--it shows the incredibly intricate relationship between the Trinity--Father, Son and Holy Spirit--in a way I've never seen before. It also boils down being a Christian to what it really is--a relationship. But I don't want to give too much away--you have to read it for yourself. Seriously. I read it in less than a day, couldn't put it down. If you read one book this year--this HAS TO BE IT!!!!!!

My sister in law gave everyone in the family a copy for Christmas. She really liked it thought it was important for everyone to read. I thought that it was very thought provoking:)
