Some books, as you turn the last page and contemplate the remarkable journey your brain just took, beg you to flip them over and begin again.
The Shack was one such book for me. It has redefined forgiveness, relationships, and communication for me.
The most important thing I took away was that you can’t put God in a box. All of our religious rituals and rules limit our transcendence and concept of what it means to live a life on this earth.
The middle of the book is really the meat and potatoes and will be what I re-read, likely more than once. The beginning is necessary for setup and the end is a bit of cheesy idealism, but the middle is an intense look at who and what God is.
