A good friend of mine recently recommended a book to me..."The Shack" written by William P. Young. In short, it's about a father's first hand multi-day encounter face-to-face with God...and more...following a family tragedy which had affected him deeply. I'm not preaching here, but there are some excellent spiritual points to ponder in this book, and the story line is not only captivating, but it's got some twists and turns that to me were unexpected.
I'm just saying you might want to check out the book's website and see whether or not you too might like to read it...if you have the same reaction as I did, you won't be disappointed.
