Job to his little girl: "Beware Jemimah, God is kind in ways that will not fit your mind."--John Piper, The Misery of Job and the Mercy of God

The Shack is still #2 on the New York Times Best-Seller list. And I am among the millions who have read and enjoyed it. William Young has written a page-burner about theodicy and the nature of the Trinity. No small feat.

North Americans seem obsessed with new stuff. I used to love International Coffee's Cafe Vienna, until they "updated" the flavor. So I switched the "French Vanilla." But they did the same thing with that! Somehow we seem to think that "new and improved" is always better. If you don't believe me, walk down the aisle in your grocery store and count the number of times you see "new!" written in bold on the front of a product.
