William P Young's book entitled The Shack
2009-08-16 22:47:18 by mrbanffThis thread is for christians. I am a lawyer and am charismatic in my love for Christ. I have had two favorite books: "Mere Christianity" by C S Lewis and a "Quantum Physics and Christianity" book but I can't think of the scientist/author's name. I came across "The Shack" through a christian friend insisting that I read it. I pooh poohed it for weeks but finally purchased it. I do not usually read fiction and it takes a lot to get me to be excited about a book. This book caused me to do both.
It is a parable, a fictional account of a man who is married with five kids and while he was concentrating on one of his children during an outing, his smallest little girl "Missy" was kidnapped and brutally murdered
