'The Shack' journey continues

For William P. Young, the author of 'The Shack,' an amazing journey continues, according to an article in The Toledo Blade:

'When people ask me what I do, I tell them I hang around burning bushes all day,' William Paul Young said, referring to the biblical story of how God spoke to Moses from a burning bush. 'You get to hear people's stories and you get to listen in on really precious, intimate things.'

Young said that from the start of his 'Shack' 'journey' he felt he was just going along for the ride with God.

As Young travels the world talking with people, something amazing has happened: the openness and vulnerability in his writing has helped people to open their hearts, stop hiding their failures, and overcome living in fear.

Take "The Shack" with a grain of salt

I finished reading "The Shack" by William P. Young this week. My sister-in-law was really excited about the book after reading it and wanted my wife and I to read it.

As I think about this book, I recommend taking it with a grain of salt. Portions of it seem blasphemous, but I believe that, if in the end "The Shack" is getting people to talk about forgiveness and God, that's a good thing.

It's definitely popular. "The Shack" is ranked number six in books on amazon.com and has inspired many spinoff books from other authors.

Have you read "The Shack"?

My sister-in-law recently lent me "The Shack" by William P. Young, but I have not had a chance to read it yet. She says that it's an outstanding story of God's love for us.

I know that the book has been very popular in Christian circles recently. Have you read it? What did you think of "The Shack"?
