I have just finished reading the book The Shack. Through its powerful narrative story, The Shack presents the most powerful images of God that I have seen for a long time. The book challenges the reader's assumptions and views of God and the bible. I'd highly recommend it to anyone remotely interested in God, Jesus and the Trinity. When making this recommendation, I'd only add that this is a book of fiction, that doesn't have everything perfect about God.  IMHO the best place to understand and learn about God is the bible, it is the direct source.  Reading the accounts of the life of Jesus for yourself as an adult will challenge mosts peoples perceptions and understandings of Jesus. The Shack been touted as a modern day successor to The Pilgrim's Progress, a title which (while somewhat bold) is at least partially justified. It's a fresh, unique and thought-provoking book that manages to touch the heart in very real ways
