The Shack

On my Midnight Reviews blog I said that I would post the quotes I found in The Shack because they were just that awesome. Well, here they are.

The Shack is a beautiful story of how God comes to find us in the midst of our sorrows, trapped by disappointments, betrayed by our own presumptions. He never leaves us where He finds us, unless we insist.
-Wes Yoder, Ambassador Speakers Bureau


I suppose that since most of our hurts come through relationships so will our healing, and I know that grace rarely makes sense for those looking from the outside.
-Willie; pg.11

Nothing makes us so lonely as out secrets.
-Paul Tournier; pg.24


The soul is healed by being with children.
-
Fyodor Dostoevsky; pg.33

Something in the heart of most human beings simply cannot abide pain inflicted on the innocent, especially children. Even broken men serving in the worst correctional facilities will often first take out their rage on those who have caused suffering to children. Even in such a world of relative morality, causing harm to a child is still considered absolutely wrong. Period!
-Mack; pg.59


Perhaps there is superationality: reason beyond the normal definitions of fact or data-based logic; something that only makes sense if you can see a bigger picture of reality. Maybe that's where faith fits in.
-Willie;
pg.67
