A note specifically for those involved in my reading/discussion group of the best-seller The Shack: This coming Sunday be prepared for a conversation over Chapters Three and Four.
Last weekend we looked back at the impressions that the Foreword and Chapters One and Two had on us. Where the Foreword was concerned, we discussed the initial impressions we gathered of Mack and Willie, and of their relationship. We discussed how Willie's statement about Mack's story, "I definitely want everything Mack told me to be true" struck us.
Chapter One's title gave us a little thought provocation--confluence meaning "a flowing together", we discussed the ways in which many things flow into who we are and into our perceptions and understandings of God.
Over chapter two we mused about the story of the Multnomah princess and the gospel story--specifically how stories are heard and processed. We also spent time talking about "the Great Sadness" in Mack's life and how clouds of sadness or disappointment are pretty common across our human experience.
Any other impressions you may have had over the opening sections? Feel free to drop a comment here or pick it up in conversation with someone in the group. See you Sunday!
