I absolutely loved this book! It's a story of a father whose daughter is kidnapped during a family camping trip. That is only the beginning however. As one might assume, he falls into a depression that he can't seem to find a way out of. He is invited back to the scene of it all-the moment when he learned that his daughter was dead. He is invited back to look at it through different eyes. Because waiting for him at the shack...is God.
This book is spiritual, but I loved it for its different approach to talking about the mysteries of God-its ecumenical approach if you will. Young encourages his reader to see God in a different way. It is a Christian approach to faith, but it is all-encompassing at the same moment.
It's not a book to "pound through." I often stopped to try to fully wrap my head around what was written. The most interenting part of the book is that it is a true story-true to the person it happened to. It's a great book to read for personal growth, as well as a great bok to read if you're looking for something more spiritual, and not a theology of some sort.
I hope you like it!
