The Shack

I just finished reading The Shack: Where tragendy confronts eternity by William Paul Young. Although I had heard about the book in the states, it was our youth pastor here in Germany that recommended and loaned it to me. And boy...what a surpise!

Although it is a novel, it is an extremely theological work that investigates the doctrine of the trinity and how the inter-relatedness of the Godhead should be our leitmotiv in our earthly interpersonal relationships. And then a good discussion ensues of man's free will and "where is God when it hurts." Although it's theological in every way, it is even more so pastoral.

I'm sorry to sound abstract in describing the book. But then again, great books are never superficial.
