want to know more about God?

Hi ladies!
I wonder why the blogging on this site has slowed down...(says me, the great blogger!)
Just wanted to bring to your attention a marvelous book I read while at Joel and Shelley's last week. The Shack; maybe some of the rest of you have heard of it or read it. It's the best theological presentation of God I've read maybe ever, and you guys know that I'm pretty conservative when it comes to things like this. It starts off pretty gruesomely, with the abduction and murder of the protagonist's little daughter, but that is just to set the scene for the worst thing that any parent could imagine, and the rest of the book is how God sees that circumstance. For anyone who has grappled with the questions of "what kind of a God are you anyway that could allow things like that to happen?" this is a good book to read. I highly reccommend it and would be very interested in others' opinions.

I have from other ppl that this book is good too. I finished Atonement-- good guess, Kak, it was long and booooring. :) I am headed upstairs now to lie down (had my teeth out this am. Hope you're recovering well, Shel! :))
