I'm currently reading The Shack by William P Young. It was recommended by word of mouth as "a good read" that illustrates our "connectiveness." I was warned that it has a child abduction in it -- ever since Lovely Bones I don't read anything that discusses attrocities to kids -- but it was worth the read regardless. After skimming over the child abuduction part, I'm finding that I'm enjoying it. It is an easy read albeit awkward and didactic but I'm keeping an open mind. It reminds me a bit of of Tuesdays with Morrie. I'm trying to get through it as quickly as possible since I picked it up on the Quick Read shelf at the local library. I have a week to get through it.
Although it was recommended to me, I had no idea of it was building such momentum. When the National Post covers it, it's pretty main stream. Here is a summary from the National Post: http://www.nationalpost.com/todays_paper/story.html?id=1288635
From the Publisher
Mackenzie Allen Phillips's youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation, and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later, in this midst of his great sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change his life forever.
Added note:
I just placed a hold for Sweetness at the bottom of the pie by Canadian author, Alan Bradley. I love this success story:
