I have taken a little hiatus from reading other than study for messages. One of the last books I read before aforementioned break was "The Shack" which I highly recommend not for it's theology, which is clearly not it's strong point, (nor was it the intention of the author, I believe), but for the fresh look it takes at our relationship with God.
If you have been following news at our church you know of the recent tragedy as one of the members of our youth group, a 15 year old, died in a freak accident. The family is grieving as is our entire church for them. I mention it because it made me think of The Shack again.
