The Kids .... Invercargill and Nelson

The Shack

So I haven't read as many books in recent years as I used to (I think doing tertiary study kind of knocks you on the head!) but Karen highly recommended this book to me a couple of months ago, so I bought it but only recently (like last weekend) got around to reading it and whoa. It was like all of the lessons that God has been teaching me were again brought up here - and more!

I don't usually go around recommending books left, right and centre, but for this one I will make an exception.

The Shack is written like a story, with Mack's (the main character) daughter being abducted and murdered in a shack. Then, several years later, he gets a letter from God inviting Mack to meet him ... in the shack.

I won't go into further detail because I don't want to spoil the story for you ... but if you are looking for a good - nah, GREAT - book to read, go get yourself a copy of this one.

I have been fully challenged on my religosity and reminded again that God is all about relationship. Currently, my copy has already been passed to a friend to read, but this is one book I am seriously looking at buying for birthday presents! And already I can't wait to read it again!!
