I highly recommend "The Shack"

I just finished reading for the second time the book, "The Shack". And while my first reading of this book began to make a difference in my life, the second time through was just as meaningful. The biggest impact on my life came in the area of forgiveness. I finally realized and admitted that there were three people in my life that I needed to extend forgiveness, and until I did, I could not move on like the main character in the book had been able to do.

Another benefit I received from this book was to get some answers to the "why" that kept going on in my mind as to why God didn't prevent the sexual abuse I experienced as a young girl. That was very freeing for me.

So that's why I'm recommending that everyone who reads this blog consider reading this book. I'm sure that you will receive great benefit. And while it may not be in the areas where I received benefit, there will no doubt be something for you. The book is fairly short, inexpensive, and readily available. Give it a try!
