Here’s an interview with William Paul Young—thanks to the 700 Club—the author of the runaway best-selling fictional book, The Shack. For those who have not heard about The Shack, you might want to read two brief posts on this blog:

Here is one of my favorite quotes from the interview:
The centrality of the New Covenant is not that He has come to give us the Holy Spirit to help us be like Him. To me, following Jesus (being a Jesus-follower) is not trying to be like Him, it’s allowing Him to be Himself in the uniqueness of our own personhood. That, to me, is the New Covenant: that He is actually come to live inside of us. Jesus is the only hope—not only for us as individuals—He’s the only hope for the world.
