What: Spend some times with author William Young, who wrote New York Times Bestseller “The Shack.”

When: 6:30 p.m. Sunday, November 2, at Ridglea Presbyterian Church

Where:  Ridglea Presbyterian, 6201 Camp Bowie, southeast of the 30 freeway, on the south side of the street.

Donation: A “love offering” for Westaid, a local organization which provides food and other assistance to families in crisis, will be collected. 

The book:  Perhaps most memorably described as “the book where God the Father appears as an African American woman,” The Shack has earned rave reviews, particularly from believers who have questioned the fallen nature of this world, who say the book has re-invigorated their faith.

Originally self-published and now a million seller, the book studies the problem of evil. When Mack, whose young daughter has been murdered by a serial killer, receives a letter from God telling him to report to the shack where she was killed, the stage is set for a series of dialogues about the nature of God, the human spiritual condition, and life in a world where evil is rampant. Controversial with some theologians, the book has nevertheless been the source of numerous testimonies of spiritual renewal.
