Book Recommendation

I recently finished a book and felt like I needed to spread the word about it. It is entitled "The Shack" and is written by William P. Young. This fiction book takes the reader on a journey to see and experience God as you never have before.

Here is an excerpt from the book's website:
"A daughter is presumed dead. Her father if overwhelmed with grief and anger. When a letter, apparently from God, invites him to the scene of the crime, Mack can't help but go and what he finds there changes him forever."

This book came recommended by some friends and also by our pastor - who felt moved by it enough to order copies for our bookstore as well as hold book clubs to discuss it.

I bought my copy for about $10 at Walmart, so it isn't a big investment.

If you read it, let me know your thoughts. I found it very thought provoking and would love to hear what others think.
