The Shack

On Wednesday night we held a joint book study with Central Baptist Church. We talked about William Paul Young's bestseller, "The Shack." There were just a few of us but the discussion was lively at times. Young did a nice job dealing with so many issues that trouble us as Christians. We look for answers to the presence of evil in the world. We want to know why God allows bad things to happen to good people. At times we don't understand God and what he expects of us. Young tries to answer these questions by using the three persons of the God-head to explain them in simple layman's terms.

It is a good book but we agreed that some sections were a little harder to understand and get into. None-the-less it spoke to each of us. The author will be at the Quaker Hill Baptist Church on Saturday, June 27 at 5:00 p.m. and he will talk about the process of writing the book. All are welcome to attend that session.
