Oh Munc, I will tell you the reason that I shelved the book without reading it after I bought it so long ago. As I looked at it, I thought I might have to read through some violent scenes about the daughter. So I put it away. But I will go ahead with it now and if I come to brutal scenes, I will have to skim that part.
Sad stuff I can read, although I do cry, but that's OK. In fact, sometimes that can be good. But violent description in books or violent movies are not something I do. But I bet if violent description is in this book, it is not much, so I will get past it.
And I saw the previous poster, too. Oh well. And I agree with your thoughts on that.
So I will read "The Shack" even though I will have to close my eyes while I read about any violence that might be in there.
Did you ever watch "Joan of Arcadia"? I absolutely loved that show where God was always showing up as different people in Joan's life and he always had her doing something. In fact, it just occurred to me that might be on television somewhere so maybe I can snare those reruns if I set the DVR. Now, I know that there are those who might think that show is sacrilegious or something. But I do not.
I know that I don't know everything....and I think that's OK. Isn't that how it's supposed to be?
