The Shack Revisited

August 6th, 2008 by randy

Well, for most of us, the summer is gone. It’s back to the “real” world. What does that mean for you? Words cannot describe how much I enjoyed July with my family and friends. However, one of the highest points in my experience this July was reading “The Shack” by William P. Young.

I picked it up and could not put it down. There was a time in Montana when I thought Diane was going to shoot me! I was paying way too much attention to my reading!

Have you read it? It’s the number one best seller today. Guess what, it is about God, the Trinity and life’s most disturbing questions. After one reads the book, conversations and deep discussions are sure to follow. It’s a great book for small groups.

Heck, it’s a great book for a whole church to read. As a matter of fact, I am encourating you to read it because my next sermon series, “The Shack Revisited,” will address some of the questions the book raises. We begin this Sunday (August 10) with “The Great Sadness,” and we will address grief, pain and healing.

On another note, it’s great to be back! I have surely missed you. From all I’ve heard, after Diane’s and Jody’s preaching . . . I’m lucky to still have a job!

Let’s get this fall started in a fine fashion with every member present in worship, Sunday School and small groups!

God Bless You!
