The Shack
have you heard about The Shack, a new book by William P. Young? I havent read it yet. it's a novel in which god is an african american woman; it's about god's unconditional and unending love and redemption for his children; two pastors formed a publishing business to publish it; it's becoming a huge hit; http://theshackbook.com , waddaya think? more about it later;

I see that it is a big hit. Why do you think that is? What makes people want to read a book which presents God as an African-American woman?
I'm mostly interested because it's self published; that two people (pastors) started a publishing business just to publish this book; THAT's what interests me most; in addition to that, it happens to be a good book; RE presenting god as a african amer woman--i havent read the book but from what i've read about the book, that isnt the main point; the main point is god's love; we're made in his image; part of that image is african american women; "we" (all of us) are in his image; but--the bigger deal to me is that it's self published and it's a big hit (just like john grisham's "A Time to Kill"; i think people want to read the book because it's about god's love for us;
