Young has literally left me speechless. I have no idea how to describe this novel in a few short sentances.&nbsp;&nbsp;And yet, here&nbsp;are some of my attempts.</p> <p>It is a story of:</p> <p>...redemption.</p> <p>...how to be truly loved.</p> <p>...how life is&nbsp;in relationships.</p> <p>...forgiveness.</p> <p>...how we reconcile a&nbsp;God of goodness&nbsp;with the evil that exists in the world.</p> <p>...comfort and rest.</p> <p>Although I read the book as a novel, front to back, I think I will re-read and chew these words slowly.&nbsp;It may be that&nbsp;as my&nbsp;life experiences change&nbsp;the book will mean something completely&nbsp;new&nbsp;to me.&nbsp;What it means to you may be different than what it means to me. What richness! What depth!</p> <p>To read more visit <a href="http://theshackbook.com/">http://theshackbook.com/</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://evpl.org/community/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1099" width="1" height="1">reviewsThe ShackWilliam Young
