When I recall my earliest memories of literature, I remember my mother reading me bedtime stories or perhaps the kindergarten play I starred in singing and performing all the nursery rhymes. The most recent memories of literature would be my readings about financial situations for a course that I am taking at Southeastern. The most significant text, besides the bible, that I have read would be "The Shack" written by Young. "The Shack" is an amazing novel which describes the close relationship between God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit with the average person. This novel was significant to me because I found the author's unique symbolism causing myself to connect with the characters. The connection that was made with the characters put a desire in my heart to get as close to God as these three individuals. I do not think that I could ever argue that literature does not matter. Literature changes the way we live, think, and act. Some Literature is also considered history and we can learn from the events that took place. Literature does matter, in every way.

From the way that you talk about it, I think I'll have to get and read The Shack. Thanks.
