Here are insights I gained from reading The Shack, a novel by William Young published in 2007:
People were granted free will and self determination by the Creator. Both the chance to achieve great good and the potential to cause great evil are part of human nature. Just as prosperity and blessings appear from unexpected directions, adversity and malevolence can emerge at any time, causing terrible personal loss. When tragedy strikes, withdrawal, isolation and self reliance intensify human suffering. Only by cultivating relationships and embracing love can people gain the salvation needed to survive the damages of overwhelming emotional trauma.
