Commence inner anguish right now. How do you choose ONE book to say you love over others or that can be considered your favorite? I love the feeling of turning pages in my fingers and the smell of pages. I am and always will be a book worm. But if I have to choose a book I love, I would have to say that "The Shack" is a book I could read over and over again and always leaves me feeling optimistic and at peace.
It is one of the few things that has ever described God and the Trinity more than anything I have ever experienced. I dream that one day I could have a relationship with God just like the main character who literally gets to spend a weekend with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and has the most amazing relationship with Him. Every time I read it, I feel encouraged once again in my faith, and it never gets old. It's probably one of the few books I re-read where I enjoy every word on every page without wanting to skip any parts or have any slow pieces. I've let friends and family borrow my copy several times (which is incredibly difficult for me to do because my books are my babies), and I will continue to encourage others to read it and experience the beauty in the words.
