THE SHACK’S WM. PAUL YOUNG- ON TV, RADIO AND IN PRINT – AND AT KINGSWAY-LAMBTON!

The novel The Shack has been a phenomenal best seller, and has touched the lives of millions. Recently, Kingsway-Lambton United Church was fortunate to host author Wm. Paul Young (he goes by the name Paul) to speak and to answer questions about his book, his life and his faith.

The Shack is found in our Fiction section, FICYOU

Life of Pi, by Yann Martel. This is a wonderful story for adults and teens. Pi, a teenager from India searches for God and during a family emigration to Canada, survives a ship wreck. You will be captivated by Pi and his story. There are also many on line book studies you can log onto to discuss this book.

The Quiltmakers Gift, by Jeff Brumbeau and Gail de Marcken. This beautiful book for young children is a real treasure. The art work is stunning and the story of a king who learns to be happy through giving is heart warming. A must read for the young child.

The Year of Living Biblically, by A.J. Jacobs. The author takes a year to follow the rules of the bible. Throughout the year he meets with spiritual advisors, various sects and groups and tries as much as possible to follow the rules as listed in the Bible. This is funny, easy to read as well as poignant. The section where he is told how to get a second wife had me laughing out loud.

A Stroke of Luck, by Dr. Howard Rocket with Rachel Sklar. The author suffers a serious stroke at a very young age. This story is his of recovery and change that both he and his family underwent. Honest, sometimes painful and inspiring.

Inviting God In, by Joyce Rupp. This book of reflection is divided into the seasons of the Church year; Advent, Lent, East, Festivals and Ordinary time. Each page has a scripture passage, a reflection and a prayer. This is a good companion for your daily bible reading.
