I was sent this article this morning in response to my last article on the Shack. The book has stirred the pot for sure. It doesn't quite fit into all of our theological pre-conceptions about God and so there is both uplifting joy about this book along with theological debate and criticism.
This is a "Fictional" writing. Those married to theology cannot even enjoy a book like this because it doesn't fit into their theological premise of God. This is exactly what troubles me most about what we have done with our faith in America. I am getting more and more convinced that God is not very interested in our theological stance on many things because these things get in the way of a sincere relationship with Him. We make our own God around our theological interpretations. I'm sure that this is grievous and offensive to the real God.
Please read.

About Me
- Davey Buhl
- I am semi-retired and very involved in seeking God on how He wants me to finish the final chapters to my life. My 20's were spent pursuing a career in rockin' roll music. I recorded both in New York and Nashville in the late 60's and early 70's. I cried out to God for help in 1970 and He came and rescued me and turned my world upside down. I was forever changed by His presence. After my meeting with the Lord, I returned home to West Virginia and got married in 1971. I raised three great children. They are all married and I now have two grand children. My occupation over the years has been in the insurance business and at the same time heavily involved in ministry. I've done some church planting. I just recently finished a two year stint as a Men's pastor at a large non-denominational church in the north hills of Pittsburgh. I love the Lord, I love my family and I love Pittsburgh Sports. I have some history now and want to share my experiences and the things that I have discovered along the way.
