So I finally started reading The Shack this weekend. I have this rebellious streak in me that, when told I "should really read this book", completely avoid reading the book.

yeah.. I finished it a couple weeks ago.. amazing book! And I would have done the same when you tipped your canoe. Definitely not a good book to read before going camping.. The first chapters kept me awake at night!
