Has Anyone Ever Read the Book "Heavenly Man" ?

They also mention other books they have read or plan to read, including The Shack by Wm. Paul Young. Another person shares their struggle with ADHD and finishing books. Finally, a newcomer to the group shares their thoughts on the books and introduces themselves. The conversation ends with the group members heading off to celebrate Halloween.

I just bought this book which was written by Brother Yun, on a recommendation from a friend.

I was told to free up an entire day to read it, so I'm doing just that.

I was just curious of any one out in CS land has ever read this book and I'm wondering what you thought? I was told it will "change me"...

Although I know the change will be spiritual- I was hoping it would make me 2 inches taller, my hair 6 inches longer, and my thighs 2 inches smaller! :)

ChefBeckyD...have you read this?
 
I haven't...sorry...

Why, thank you! I figured it was a stretch...it's not a very heard of book. Brother Yun is from China- and this book is supposed to be amazing. I'll let you know if I become amazed while I'm reading it. :)

I was hoping Hathery would be on today- she's read a lot of books...maybe she's read this one?
 
I haven't read it....you'll have to give me a review.

I just bought The Shack, by Wm. Paul Young.

It looked good - and while I was reading the back cover, 3 people told me it was a "must read".....but it looks like a tear-jerker, and I have to be in a mood to read it.

Has anyone on here read it?

Normally I don't get much deeper than Joyce Meyer, or Harry Potter...so I'll let you know how this reads... I bought kleenex just in case!
 
I've been looking for The Shack at my church library. They have three copies and they are always gone. It was recommended to me, too. I don't read much because, well, ADHD, I guess. I read magazines, but tend to not even finish those.

Okay - if I finish it before you find it - you can borrow mine!:D

So that's why I never finish magazines...and it would also explain why I read 3 or 4 books at the same time- not simultaneously...but I don't just read one book before I start another... I start several at once and finish them at different times...

Okay, so this is my first post--I'm a total lurker, but that's besides the point! Anyway, I've read both of these books and they are amazing. They are very different, but both brought such great perspective to my faith and relationship with God. I highly recommend both! Happy reading.

Well, now that you've exposed your lurkerness....start a new thread and introduce yourself ;)

Well, then I suppose I should get off my computer and start reading the book! I was going to start hours ago- :)

Welcome! Thanks for sharing about the book and welcome to Pampered Chef and CS! I can't wait to share what I think about the book.

Okay - I can't start The Shack until I can spend a few hours reading. If I start it tonight, I'll be up half of the night reading, and I have a Brunch Show tomorrow....

No, don't get off the site. I'm home alone and not much trick or treating action. I knew that and I have a movie to watch. I'm busy posting political stuff on some other sites while the sheeple are out with their kids. I'm posting other things in between each political post, to be fair to those who don't like that stuff. Anyway, I'd read, but I like to have noise at night. Peace is for daylight! (Unless I'm trying to sleep.)

See ya!

I'm home alone, and finally had to sedate the dogs because for some reason all the teens from further away neighborhoods decided to come to our peaceful little neck of the woods and they are runnin amok. I heard one mother out there yelling at them to leave.

I might just take Spirit out on his choke chain. He's medicated...and gets a bit cranky when he's drugged... that should scare a few of them away...if it doesn't- I'll call the cops... I mean I pay the third highest taxes here in MN out of the entire nation- I might as well put those taxes to good use. Besides, it's been a while since our friend Sgt. Randy stopped by... :)

ChefBeckyD...have you read this?
So far my cleared up day is coming to a close. I should plan these cleared up days a little better, don't you think? DH is out trick-or-treating with our grandson...he's 2.5 and they dressed him up as a golfer! How cute!

That is cute, the little golfer. I hope I don't forget to go pick my kids up around 10 pm.

So what would you be implying my dear? Hmmmm? :blushing:
 
  • #25
I meant to write this is your thread, and I'm not implying anything. You're hijacking it right along with me, so I didn't think I needed to apologize for the hijack. Silly.

I know that- I'm just messing with you- ;) Besides, I hijack my own hijacks... I seriously do not care if my thread is hijacked. I'm an equal opportunity hijacker!

We better stop using that word or the secret service could put us on a "no fly" list. Not that I fly very much, but just in case.

good point! I can't move to Canada if I'm on the no fly zone...oh, wait- I can drive :D

Move to Canada?? Kacey, I know you can be spacey once in awhile, but, no matter where you live in the US, Canada is not SOUTH!! What happened to the Southern-girl wannabe?
