I just finished reading "The Shack" by William P. Young. Wow. This was really an amazing book. I have heard a lot of people discuss it, both positively and negatively. I loved it from cover to cover and highly recommend you read it for yourself. I am not really going to discuss the book in this post, but rather quote a passage from the book. The church I pastor in Raleigh is called The Revolution. The main character in the book is Mack and the book states he is hoping for a revolution, "...one of love and kindness -- a revolution that revolves around Jesus and what he did for us all and what he continues to do in anyone who has a hunger for reconciliation and a place to call home. This is not a revolution that will overthrow anything, or if it does, it will do so in ways we could never contrive in advance. Instead it will be the quiet daily powers of dying and serving and loving and laughing, of simple tenderness and unseen kindness, because if anything matters, then everything matters." That's what I want in my life. A revolution. That's what I want for my city. A Revolution. Great quote. Great book. Give it a read. I know you will enjoy it.

Did you ever read Chasing Francis? you might enjoy that. I definitely want to read the Shack. Also Lost & Found is good - one woman's journey thru grief and how we help each other. Of course I liked the dog in the book!
Mike, I liked the Shack alot too. It gives lots of people a new perspective on God. I love how the Spirit - indeed, the Trinity is portrayed. The ending was cool too.
