Boomer,
Admittedly, I was more than a little maudlin when I started the book, and did most of my reading very, very late at night, but I'm awfully glad I stocked up on Kleenex first. The nice thing about faith is that is totally in the mind, heart, and soul of the believer. It does not demand or require proof. That's why it's called faith. Some like a previous poster take delight in denigrating the beliefs of others because they do not meet some criteria they've established. It's easy to do. In fact, it is much easier to condemn than to understand.

I found myself going into "The Shack" with many unknowns. Didn't know what I believe, don't really know what I want to believe. Still don't. I don't think of "The Shack" as the answer, but just another tool to find the right questions. Of course, I'm screwed up in a lot of other ways, too.

Everybody's favorite Muncle
