If you find yourself in a place of questioning, doubting, deconstructing, whatever word you use — this is a great starting point.
I don't remember who recommended this book so when I picked it up to read it just a few days ago, I was immediately skeptical. It's not a book I had heard anything about but when I read on the cover that it was written by the same author as The Shack, I relaxed a bit.
Mind you, I had never read nor seen The Shack, but I was familiar with the controversy surrounding it. Someone I trust in theological discussions mentioned loving the movie so I felt like I could read this book and get something good out of it.
In fact, it was SO good. This is such a great starting place for someone questioning their faith. It strips away so many of the (false) assumptions we make about God and replaces them with truth. Definitely one of my favorites from this year.
