The Shack

If you have not read the book "The Shack" by William Young yet, you should! The book is amazing... it approaches the question "Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?"  It has been a great reminder to me of how much God truly loves me and how my relationship with Him can be even better. 

Here is a thought from the book... Just because God works incredible good out of unspeakable tragedies doesn't mean he orchestrates the tragedies. Don't assume that  God using something means he caused it or that he needs it to accomplish his purpose. That will only lead you to false notions about Him. Grace doesn't depend on suffering to exist, but where there is suffering you will find grace in many facets and colors. (check out theshackbook.com)
