I just read lisaard's post about her son. My four children are still seeking. I met Paul at the Oregon Christian Writer's conference and shared the scripture I've been leaning on: “Who can resist the will of the Lord?” Paul's reply has strengthened my faith even more: “Who can resist the love of the Lord?” I'm thankful that we serve such a faithful, loving and powerful God.

A Cabana, é realmente o melhor livro que li até hoje.É maravilhoso, não dá nem pra explicar é muito bom.Confesso que chorei bastante em alguns trechos, pois é impossivél não se emocionar com a história de Mack e Missy…sem contar o Grande encontro com Deus!
Parabéns ao Autor!!! Adorei

My mother in-law offered me “The Shack” as a gift in June of 2009 for my birthday. I read the first two chapters a month later and did not pick up the book again until yesterday. I stayed up last night (3/14/2010), reading it until 2:30 a.m. I started reading it again this morning around 8:30 a.m. and finished reading it this morning at 10:45 a.m. I realized why I waited to read this book. I believe God wanted me to wait until I can better understand Sarayu and to send me the message to seek her.
About a month ago, my oldest daughter told me about the following dream she had:
She, my husband and I were working at her school. Some of the parents and teachers threw "bombs" at me and I was caught on fire. She and her father ran breathlessly to a nearby water fountain to get water, but no water was found. An angel came down and asked them “to blow” at me. As they and the angel blew at me, the fire subsided and finally stopped.
Lately, I have been angry at God while seeking His presence with all my heart, aching to have a close relationship Him and hopelessly waiting for a sign from Him. I want to believe that finally deciding to read your book yesterday at that very moment, after I had it all this time is His way of reaching out to me and answering some of my questions. You stated in your welcome page on your blog that, “ I hope that someday we can share a cup of coffee, or for me, an extra hot chai tea with soy. If that happens, and if you want, I will tell you a little more about the bigger story and you can tell me some of yours”.
I am dying to learn more about the “bigger story” and I hope you can help me fill up my life with verbs.

Sincerely,

Jackie

I read the shack two months ago in the year of 2010. This book is so memorable. It was very nice that a man had met the shack in different scenes with garden, cave, and the spring season. However, the changes have made through the ending on winter season like in the beginning in which Mackenzie had suffered pains, but his sorrows will be forgotten. Mostly, it was sad.

I wish I would have a brother named Mack because I want him to agree with everyone in my family, especially God.

This story brings me back into my old homes.

I read the shack a few days ago and had been told by many at our church that this was a must read,that it just opens us up to a better understanding of our relationship with God. WOW I loved every page of it. I read it in five hours,I just could not put it down.
Thank you all of you who came up with the publishing company and for having a wonderful insight that the world at large should read this book. I am passing it on and ordering copies soon for some family members.
I was also sent a horrible review of this book by someone who had never even read it, and that made me want to read it all the more.I knew I would be saddened and delighted and laughing all in the space of mere minutes and I was in no way let down.
Isn't Bo's cafe one of your books Willie?

O livro é revelador, porque nos mostra que a culpa pelo o que acontece de ruim em nossas vidas não é de Deus, e sim, tão somente dos seres humanos.Ele nos deu a liberdade, por isso não interfere no que fazemos com ela, mas está ao nosso lado para nos ajudar no que precisarmos, pois ele além de ser Deus, é Pai ( ou papai).
Por isso, digo que adorei a leitura, pois me emocionei e me transformei muito e a recomendo para todos que conheço também se emocionarem e se transformarem.

Why is Charlie short for Charles if they are both the same number of letters?

I had just finished your book, The Shack, it's almost 9 o' clock here in Brazil (yeah, I'm brazilian, so, please, excuse my grammar mistakes). I'm eighteen years old and I'm not a very religious person and, besides the positive comments that I heard about it, that's why I refused to read your book for so long… But now that I did, I needed to congratulate you for the sweetest version of God that I ever saw… but, before the congratulations, I need to thank you… Thank you for touching my heart so deeply as myself was there in the shack with God… and after the warm smiles and the crying that the book cause on me, my relationship with God can develop easier now…

I truly loved this book. My son was lost in the woods in Acworth, georgia when he was only eight years old all night long. He followed a creek and somehow took the wrong turn. I never thought we'de see him again but miraculously my husband, friends, neighbors and a rescue team found him and his friend Kyle, 5 miles from where he took off , with no shirt, some water shoes,a bathing suit, and a backpack on his back ,safe without a scratch on his body. He believed the Angels were taking care of him, and he slept on a rock near a cliff over the creek with a huge waterfall. I believe this was a miracle, but now my son is 22 and he is still lost in the woods. He is in rehab now and has been for almost 8 months, and I have gone through so many tears, I can't even count them all. My faith really began to dwindle as I kept asking God Why did this have to happen to my sweet little boy?? I read this book, and I can really relate to how we have to learn to put our trust in God completely, learn to forgive but not forget, and face our struggles, not alone but with the Father, Son, & Holy Ghost guiding us every step of our lives. God Bless this wonderful Author. Lisa Ard
