Spiritual Renewal

The Shack - William Paul Young

When Mackenzie Allen Phillips's youngest daughter Missy is abducted during a family vacation, he remains hopeful that she'll return home. But then, he discovers evidence that she may have been brutally murdered in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness.

Four years later, in the midst of his great sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note that's supposedly from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment, he arrives on a wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change his life forever.

The Sister of Charity, what is she but a mother to the poor and abandoned of the world?
Élisabeth Bruyère (Personal Notebook)
If there is any one of you who needs wisdom, he must ask God, whogives to all freely and ungrudgingly; i twill be given to him.
Lc 18, 16
Yesterday has gone. Tomorrow may never come. There is only the miracle of this moment. Savor it. It is a gift.
