The Shack
Is this the book that I was supposed to have a box of kleenex close? I don’t know what it says about me, but I didn’t shed a tear. It was a good “food for thought”, but not life-changing for me. I’m usually a fast reader and this book took me forever to finish. I think I couldn’t get past the “fiction” part, and if I want biblical teaching, I prefer the bible. (wow, that’s deep) Although, I have starting listening to the bible on my ipod and I really like that. (The Bible Experience- I got it for Christmas. A reading of the NIV). On our butte walks, we’ve discovered that some of my girlfriends like to think deeply and figure things out, and I’m just gonna ask Jesus when I see him. In the mean time, I can ask the girls what they think.
But, the book that I’m sure I’ll need kleenex for is Marley & Me (life & love with the world’s worst dog). I’ve had it for probably two years and haven’t got the guts to read it yet.

I didn’t cry and I didn’t think of it as a tear jerker kind of book. But then again I’m not a crier. The thing that irks me a bit about this book is that it seems to be so “revolutionary” to think outside the box like he did. People! God is more than we think he is… duh! However I did like the book and I did appreciate his thoughts. I think it helps us grow to see how God shows himself to his other children.
