From Page 279 of, "The Shack"





"Most of us have our own grief, broken dreams, and damaged hearts, each of us our unique losses, our own "shack." I pray you find the same grace there that I did, and that the abiding presence of Papa, Jesus, and Sarayu will fill up your inside emptiness with joy unspeakable and full of glory." (The author's words)


***************************************


You needn't be of a particular religion or of any at all to be taken into the experience of one Mackenzie Allen Phillips. You needn't have experienced any trauma at all to be taken on such an emotional trek. You needn't believe in any "supreme being" or "higher power" to be impacted by the tale. Allow yourself a mind-clearing breath or two, prior to stepping aboard. DO read the foreward! It will prepare you for the style, humor and interpretation of the author, Wm. Paul Young.

Not reading anywhere NEAR as I did previously, this was not easy to put aside. Being that I began after dark, I did finish the following day..........Compelling, to say the least!
