Book Craze
So, only 5 days after making fun of Christian trends and fads, I picked up and finished one, The Shack.
The first book that ever made me cry was Where the Red Fern Grows. The last one was The Shack. The first time, I was mortified that someone might be able to look into my bedroom, even with the door closed, and find out that I was crying while reading about a dog that died, and see tears running down my cheek. Now I’m broadcasting it over the internet.
The book was very ripping, raw, and healing. Some of the theology really sucked. Even so, I enjoyed the fresh view of God that it presented. The grace in it was over the top. And if I was going to err in my presentation of God, I think I would err towards grace. Read it. Just don’t take it’s description of God too horribly seriously. Let it free you a little from your ruts, then go read your bible.
