What an amazing book this is turning out to be. The Shack by Wm. Paul Young. I will give you a short synopsis and no spoilers. The main character lost his daughter on a family vacation to an abduction and evidence that she was brutally murdered in an abandoned shack deep in the wilderness.
A few years later he receives a note presumably from God inviting him back to that same shack for a weekend.
The conversation he has their with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit is astonishing. The theology that is discussed is so deep and seems so simple at time.
This is the type of book that just makes you go "hmmmm..." over and over.
The "Hmmmm Factor" forces you to take frequent breaks to process information and causes you to read and reread sections. While some of the theology may be questionable and a bit out of the ordinary. The journey of the main character is captivating.
I am about two-thirds of the way through the book and I started it yesterday. I'll let you know my final thoughts when I finish the book. But at this point allow me to recommend this book to all of you.
