Good books

I've just finished reading John Ortberg's newest book, "When the Game is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box". It was a good read and I loved his analogy - comparing how we play the game of life to a playing a board game. Ortberg always makes me think, which is a good thing.

I just enjoyed a visit with my brother Blaine and he is RAVING about a book I MUST read. It's written by a fellow I was in Bible College with, so that makes it even more appealing. It's called The Shack and the author is William P. Young. I knew him as Paul. So, I'm out to buy it today. I just checked the reviews and it is compelling. Eugene Petersen tags it as the "Pilgrim's Progress" of our century. That's quite an endorsement from a man of his literary stature.

I've also got The Irresistable Revolution on my shelf - actually - it's not on my shelf because my husband stole it to read. My kids have insisted I read it. I love it when they insist I read a book, since it helps me know and understand their world better. Doug's comments so far are "very good".
