I recently finished The Shack by William Young<\/a>. A viral best seller, I would describe it as the heart of Mitch Albon (Five People You Will Meet in Heaven) and the offbeat, relational faith of Don Miller (Blue Like Jazz) with a Christian core that would make sense to an Greek Orthodox Christian. Weird, I know. At the heart of the story is one of the best portrayals of the doctrine of the Trinity that I have ever come across. Frankly, it makes the ancient creed make sense in that the Triune God is not a matter of semantics but a finite attempt to convey the relational nature of the infinite God.<\/p>\n

I’m working on a podcast on it right now as we get ready conclude an interview process for a new call to a church, move my oldest son to college, and then look toward moving ourselves. More on that once everything is finalized but hope to have the podcast by Friday.<\/p>\n
