William P. Young's The Shack is the most engaging book I have read in ten years. My wife and I have given away a couple dozen copies (so far!) and are recommending it to all our friends.

This isn't "dry, boring theology"; it is a novel. It pulls together in a creative way some healthy insights about the nature and activity of God in order to tackle the problem of human suffering. You owe it to yourself to read this book. My guess is that you will wind up sharing it with your friends and inviting them to discuss it with you. Click here to order.
