The Shack is a very interesting book. I am not only glad I read it, I am changed by reading it. It is a fictional book allowing it to penetrate into your psyche and catch you unguarded, raw, and vulnerable. It brought me to the basic principle Christianity revolves around - love. Only because of love. God loves us so we can love - love Him, love others, love ourselves. The book also allowed me to envision how that love could affect my life when realized through the lives of the characters. Only because of love.
When I heard of others reading the book, I would hear how they put the book down and then pick it up after a break. I understand because some of the realizations were so profound, I felt that if I rushed through reading it, without taking a few days or a week to absorb it, I would not have been ready for the next impacting divulgence of my heart.
About Me
- Kristie
- My name is Kristie and I am a business owner, partnering with my awesome husband of 15 years. We have 4 children, Raeley, 13, Robert, 10, Jonathan, 9, and Cameron, 5. We have a big dog named CJ. I would love to be organized, to keep a clean house, and stick to a schedule, but spontenaity just pops out of our lives. My husband and I thrive on excelling and pushing ourselves, and we live a very full and busy life. Oh yeah, and I homeschool my kids, too. This is my journey. I don't try to keep up with the Jones'. I just try to survive and stay sane. Sometimes you just have to smile. I hope this blog will encourage you if your day doesn't seem to turn out like you'd like.

The Shack also changed my life. I have no idea how much he loves me and desires a relationship with me. I thought I know but I was so far off. It also allowed me to talk to him about the things in my life. The Why questions that I (in my head) knew not to ask. My and Jesus, we had a great conversation a few weeks ago when I finished the book. I am re reading it and I enjoy it even more.
