The Greatest Book I Have Read Lately

When it comes to reading books anyone can tell you I love it! Books have been a means of escape from the perils of life for a very long time.

Books of all genres have been read on a lazy summer afternoon, or cozy in bed on a cold winter night. I have loved them all in my years of literary travels, but every once in awhile a book comes along that is so powerful you are speechless.

The Shack by William P Young is one of those books. It will take you to a place you are sure you know, ask you questions you have heard before and give you answers that will literally blow your circuits.

This story is about a man whose daughter had gone missing and is presumed dead. All the events led the charecters to a shack in the woods where their worst nightmare came true.

As the years after his little girls death go by the main character slips into what he calls The Great Sadness. Until the day a mysterious note appears in his mailbox.The note invites him back to the shack for a meeting with a mysterious Papa.

What will happen when he gets to the shack? Will the person that took his daughter be there? Is he heading for his own untimely demise? The answers will surprise you....And no I will not tell you!

Suffice it to say if you are not surprised and touched by what lies beneath the covers of this book, you are not human! Well okay maybe you are human but I challenge you not to have some ideas challenged by this seemingly simple book.

The Shack is the greatest book I have read in a long time, bar none! Get your copy today!
