The Shack

I just finished reading this amazing book called "The Shack" it was written by Wm. Paul Young. I really think that you all should read it. It is about a father's love for his family and his love for God. My favorite thing about it is how it changes this father's thinking about God and Jesus and how he learns to forgive others.
One statement that really made me think, and even underline it in the book (and I don't like marking in books) was:
"Remember this, humans are defined not by their limitations, but by the intentions I have for them; not by what they seem to be, but by everything it means to be created in my image." This is a statement that Jesus said to this father.
I know it sounds weird for me to read a book like this, but every time I went to the D.I. to look at books (50 cents each), this book would jump out at me, so I bought it and read it and I think that everyone should take the time to read it. There is even a website for it at www.theshackbook.com.

Okay guys, go get the book read it and then let me know what you think.
