Chapters 6 and 7...

Sorry, I forgot to move us forward last week- always feel free to email me and remind me....

Let's go with chapters 6 and 7 this week.

There will be plenty to discuss, we don't have to have a 'topic'- read and write- I will put my comments later today.

(And Rob, I am still debating the idea of perfect communication from God....I will respond to that one later)

Starting The Shack

Okay, just a warning...the first part of the book is the hardest to get through. So just sit down and make it through chapter 5 in a sitting or two (and know the book really changes once it hits chapter 6).

So here is how we will at least start this thing- we will post a few questions and thoughts from the chapters- you respond on the blog and we will go from there and see where conversation leads. Once done we will move on or agree we are all utterly confused.

For these chapters, focus on these areas:

- How does God communicate with us today? Does God still communicate with us? How would we respond to a note from God?

- Why do we keep our dark secrets or Great Sadness buried within?

- What does this quote have to do with these chapters: "We routinely disqualify testimony that would plead for extenuation. That is, we are so persuaded of the rightness of our judgment as to invalidate evidencethat does not confirm us in it. Nothing that deserves to be called truth could ever be arrived at by such means."- right or wrong?

Go....

Welcome!

This is a place for books. Interesting books. Confusing books. Enlightening books.

This is also a place for talk about books. What you think about them and what they say to you about things that are important.

We hope you enjoy the books and the talk!
