The Shack by Wm. Paul Young
Five star rating
I have to be honest , I saw the movie first one night after I got the book.
After watching the movie , I didn't want to read the book at first because it started off difficult in the beginning and I didn't want to understand it.
But I decided to give it a read anyway, half way through its a tough read because of the story-line. Towards the middle to end the book starts to answer questions that one would have about God but would never admit. It opens the dialog with god to be more open and opens your own eyes to the ways of god. The book reaches the subject of the way of walking away from God when things that aren't too pretty happen and coming back to him under the circumcises and about forgiveness, how hard it's to do at any capacity. Also things happen in life for reason that can't be explained at the end day.
In my opinion it's a Soul-filled read that you will make your heart and soul in ways that can't be explained and be changed after reading it. If you believe in god or not; its a beautiful ; its not about religion or how to follow but to understand God and life it's self.
Don't judge what ever you have heard about this book until you open it, you will understand more than you ever thought.
To add my favorite chapter is chapter twelve In the belly of the Beasts.The last two pages alone are breath taking to the soul and to the mind. I don't want to give anymore away but give it chance and leave me your thoughts down below.
