• Fall 2016 Schedule (10AM – 12PM)   We will be discussing “The Shack” by William P. Young.  The Shack is a Christian novel by Canadian author William P. Young, published in 2007.  The title of the book is a metaphor for “the house you build out of your own pain”, as Young explained in a telephone interview.  He also told radio host talk show Drew Marshall that The Shack “is a metaphor for the places you get stuck, you get hurt, you get damaged…the thing where shame or hurt is centered [quoted from Wikepedia].   Sounds like we are in for good discussion and introspection.  September 24 – Video Interview with Author October 8 – Discussion-Chapters 1 – 5 October 22 – Discussion-Chapters 6 – 10 November 12 – Outreach Activity (Angels at Kairos Retreat) December 3 – Discussion-Chapters 11-15 December 17 – Discussion-Chapters 16-end & Christmas Party
