What's On Your Nightstand

There are so many books that I have read lately and wanted to write about, but time has just not been on my side. So I am taking advantage of this opportunity from 5 Minutes for Books to go through what’s been on my “share list” for the past few weeks. At the top of the list:

The Shack by William P. Young – a novel about a man’s encounter with God and the redemptive, healing process he goes through in the course of a weekend spent in the Lord’s presence. I was very moved by this story but have been wary of sharing any specifics because I think this is a book people should experience for themselves.

Some other books that you might enjoy:

  • I have heard so much about The Shack. Either it is a must read or don't waste your time. I just may have to check it out!
  • I recently read Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt and was very impressed. I wasn't sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised!

    P.S. Thanks for your comment over at Elvis Sightings -- nice to meet you too!
  • I'm 2/3 through the Shack, and I'm really enjoying it. It takes me a long time to read a book, because once I put it down, I don't pick it up again for awhile! I'm also reading A Glimpse of Jesus by Brennan Manning and Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins.

    I read parts of Christ the Lord at Borders whenever it was new, and it was quite interesting. But I'm not one to buy books retail, so I didn't buy it then. I'll have to get it from the library sometime.
  • I love Jasper Fforde; After I read your post I literally jumped up, went to the library and rented Lost in a Good Book, just cause...
  • I have been seeing a lot of people have been reading The Shack. My husband bought it for me for my birthday (in April..) I need to bump it up on the to be read list!

  • Thanks for sharing your list! Things I Want My Daughter To Know looks very interesting to me. Enjoy your books!
  • The Shack is on my list, and from what I've heard--yes, it does need to be experienced, so I'm looking forward to it, and appreciate your vague description.
