Exerpts from "The Shack" ... by William P. Young

ON RELATIONSHIP VERSUS PRINCIPLES AND RULES
...Religion is about having the right answers, and some of their answers are right. But I am about the process that takes you to the living answer and once you get to him, he will change you from the inside. There are a lot of smart people who are able to say a lot of right things because they have been told what the right answers are, but they don't know Me at all. So really, how can their answers be right even if they are right, if you understand my drift? ...So even though they might be right, they are still wrong.

ON THE PRESENCE OF GOD
You might see Me in a piece of art, or music, or silence, or through people, or in Creation, or in your joy and sorrow. My ability to communicate is limitless, living and transforming, and it will always be tuned to Papa's goodness and love. And you will hear and see me in the Bible in fresh ways. Just don't look for rules and principles; look for relationship - a way of coming to be with Us [Papa, Jesus, Holy Spirit].
