Let's READ!

I am really trying to make time for stress relief and in doing so I am trying to read a new book at least once a week or so. I have recently finished reading EAT PRAY LOVE and thought it was TERRIBLE!! I was hoping for a great spiritual walk with God book and it was anything but. I forced myself to read it, but only enjoyed maybe 1/3 of it? The part where she traveled to India was horrible. I should have stopped reading after the first section when she stated that she believed there wasn't one way to God. That she differed from Christians in the fact that she believed there was anyway to God. I should have burned it at that point. Oh well, I know I won't be seeing the movie that stars Julia Roberts.

I just finished The Shack today. I thought it was a good read. Involves a father that looses his daughter when camping. Someone abducts her and he walks the walk with God after this tragedy in his life. Lots of people have read it and I wanted to. A few things I didn't "jive" with was that God is Papa and is a black woman. The Holy Spirit is a woman and that was just a little odd for me. I also pray that the book doesn't miss guide someone since it is fiction in believing that you can be saved without experiencing the blood of Jesus/his salvation for us. I don't know I didn't think it was real clear in this book, but again it was fiction.

I am on to another book tomorrow, will let you know what it is.
