Why is this no surprise? From a review of "The Shack"...
The author, William Young, uses the power of story to explain the nature and character of God without becoming too heady or scholarly.
My favorite example of this is found in the last paragraphs of chapter 12. Jesus is talking with Mack about how seekers find him and that he is not trying to make anyone a Christian. "I am not a Christian," Jesus says. Mack asks him if this means that all roads lead to God. Listen to this brilliant response:
Most roads don't lead to anywhere. What it does mean is that I will travel any road to find you.
