Two weeks ago I decided to begin a second and careful reading of The Shack by Paul Young. One of the reason’s I began re-reading comes from recent thoughts and experiences surrounding the idea that confronting the pain of our lives is a significant and necessary aspect of the process of transformation.
I thought through the story further as I listened to Richard Rohr speak here in Denver last weekend. So, much of what Rohr communicated in his talk titled, “The Path of Descent,” is what Mack is led to confront in Paul Young’s beautifully told story. “Everything circles around what you do with your pain. If you don’t transform it… you will transmit it,” said Rohr.
