Lent is approaching and Rev Nicola Butt invites you to join in a special reading group…

This year during Lent we have the opportunity to read and discuss the novel The Shack by Wm Paul Young. This 2008 novel was a worldwide publishing phenomenon.  

Millions found their hunger satisfied by the story of a man lifted from the depths of tragedy and despair through his life altering encounter with God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.  

It’s a book that explores and wrestles with the timeless question “Where is God in a world so full of unspeakable pain?”  The answer comes in the deeper exploration of the Trinity, the intricate concept of God in three persons and our relationship with him.

In The Shack we are invited to a place of healing and transforming love.

Love it or hate it, this book gives us an opportunity to explore more deeply the theology about God the Father Son and Holy Spirit within this story. 

You are invited to three discussion sessions at the St Petrock’s church on

Tuesday the 18tht March at 10.30 am.

Tuesday 1 April at 10.30 am and

Tuesday 15 April at 10.30 am

The book is available from Amazon using the link below

Amazon.co.uk : the shack book

There are also four copies that can be borrowed at the back of the church.
