so here’s a great book recommendation for you! the shack, by william young. my Dad gave me this book for Christmas, and i truly have been blessed by it. thanks Dad 
it is a story of a man that has “given up” on God due to a tragic event in his life. he has always misunderstood God and how He loves His children. this book truly paints a picture of God’s one greatest desire: to have a relationship with us. the book helped me grasp that concept a little more than i have in the past. read it, and thank me later!
you can read a bit more about it at http://theshackbook.com/.
