very concerned

upon reading the first few chapters of The Shack, i had to put the book down. not because it was a poor or boring read, rather because i could not handle the events surrounding the Great Sadness (i don't want to give too many details in case you read it someday!). i had a very difficult time keeping myself together on my train ride home this evening. i cannot understand why/how one human being can be so heartless to another (as is the case in this fictional novel, but it still happens)? i'd love to have a much deeper discussion about the conflicts in this book after you read it. (i pray for all those who feel hopeless and cry out to no one).
