Dear Friends,
For those of you who have already read this book, and been telling us "You have to read this book!!!," you will understand why it is going to take time for me to find a way to put into words a description of this book and the impact it has had on me.
For those of you who haven't yet read or even heard of this book, let me say that everyone could expand his or her understanding of God by reading it. Everyone has experienced, or will someday experience, loss and some "Great Sadness" in life. Young's story of one man's wrestling with God to grow and live with the "Great Sadness" in his life, and finally forgive God for allowing it and man for inflicting it, gives us all so much to meditate on and wrestle with as we try to find meaning and perspective on the difficult chapters in our own lives.
Most likely, I will not be able to really summarize this book. More likely I will choose some of my favorite quotes to share with you. I wouldn't want to spoil the plot, because then you might choose not to read the book for yourself, which would be cheating yourself out of a valuable experience. Be prepared to cry and have your imagination about God stretched.
More to come....
-Patti
