Jan Parrish

I'm a barely boomer who has been married to my best friend for nearly a quarter of a century. We have two grown children who were married this summer, increasing our children to four.

Life in the Parrish household is crazy but fun. My MIL came to live with us a little over two years ago when my FIL passed away.

    I browsed through The Shack at a local bookstore and ended up reading about four pages and the ending chapter. VOOOM! Despite some awkward sentence structure and some obvious theological loopholes the work is creatively powerful. Far from 100% percent scriptural (no book is) I believe that is why it is classified as FICTION. Is it inspiring. Yes. Is it innovative? Yes. Is it heresy? That's debateable. For an equally inspiring but scriptural read I suggest you check out 'A Step Into Deliverance" by T. Pugh. It is a riveting autobiography about one pastor's journey into the deliverance ministry. A real page-turner!

    Hi Jan. Thanks for joining my group, Jesus Freaks. I hope you enjoy it. If you have any questions feel free to ask them, but don't take it personally if I don't get back to you for a while. My summer is very busy and I probably won't be able to log on for weeks at a time. I hope you have a lovely day.

    Hi Jan. Just receive the book, and since I'm in the middle of a couple other books, I've got this one in the wings. My "I'm reading" shelf is a bit deceptive. Basically for me it's all the books I have in my possession. The other "To Be Read" shelf is a reminder of the books I don't have yet. I'm glad that I've got the book with all the differing opinions on it here. I may not have been so thrilled to have received it. I will definitely be posting my thoughts when I'm finished. Did you read it? What were your thoughts?

    Hi Jan, Lagos is 88 degrees F right now, even though we've been having heavy morning showers for a few days. i guess you can get by, drink a lot of water to ease the heat and regular showers with light clothing. You should be fine with that! Take care!

    Thanks for adding me as a friend. When I saw The Shack on your shelf I couldnl't believe it. You have NO IDEA how many times I've seen or heard of that book in the last 2 weeks! Then, someone gave it to me! Do you think it could be...GOD?! :o) Now we're going to be reading it for book club! Crazy. ~Mimi

    Hi Jan! I sure am. Sharen and I have been friends for years. I'm so thrilled she's coming back home to Houston, but I know you all will miss her terribly! You know her through your group?

    I would love to get to know you better also. I think I'll pass on the book club though because I read strictly fiction most of the time and I have such a huge stack to read already as it is. Thanks for the offer though. I appreciate you thinking of me.
