God's love

please read "the shack" (william young). i am passing along a recommendation, from a recommendation, from a recommendation. it's crazy how this book has circled among my friends and how it has sparked some really neat and unscripted conversation about God, the trinity, his deep love for his children, and the freedom he desires for us in pure, honest relationship with him.

enjoy it for what it is.

next on my list: crazy love, by frances chan. i heard him speak for the first time at passion 08 in atlanta. he was refreshing and passionate, and i had to check out his website, and eventually buy his book. he's onto the idea (also an underlying theme in the shack...) that instead of trying to attain godly disciplines to please the Father and to know him more, that if we fall madly in love with Jesus, our whole approach will change. the whole relationship rather than religion thing, which also isn't a new idea. :) but i'm excited about the read. i'll give my thoughts.
