It’s amazing what men can accomplish. Feats especially when performed by young people are sure to be immortalized in people’s memories. Every once in a while they come along, folks - who shout CAN or POSSIBLE amidst cries of can’t and impossible. In this league belongs Jay Adams. As a young man he rocked the imagination of many a skateboard fans with his innovative moves. His moves were always intense and full of vigor. He was one of the rare ones who never did any move, the same way twice. Jay Adams was the epitome of spontaneity and fluidity that defied convention yet was art displayed.

Jay Adam’s life is truly inspiring, a masterpiece portraying the great work of God. With a convicted drug addict as a father, Jay joined the ranks of bitter youngsters who came from broken families. His stepfather introduced him to surfing and skating. Despite his success, he too became a convict like his biological dad. But God, the master artesian never gave up on him. He is now a witness for the Christ that He has embraced while in prison. God has stepped in and set in order a broken life, making it like new.

Some catholic group was enthused by “The Shack” of William Paul Young, whether if his book consists of blasphemous pages or just pure fiction book. In his book, it is issued by some pious community from the church which illustrates that Mackenzie Allen Phillips, or much known as Mack (the main protagonist) in the book literally talked to God in an abandoned shack regarding his subsistence in life and God’s perspective on his children, which of course, portrayed as us, the people. It also portrayed in the book that God materializes himself as an African American Woman, from which also, stirred a lot of issues.

“The Shack” contained elements of different points of view, for example, a person’s grudges and queries to God about various things. In this case, the central character, Mack, whom his daughter, Missy was recently, brutally murdered in an abandoned shack while searching for her kidnapped son. Three years after the horrifying incident, Mack received an unstamped letter from a person named “Papa”, persuading him to meet up back to the abandoned shack for a conversation from which he agreed and revisited the shack that eventually led to the most shocking revelations of his life.

Not only that this book depicts what some of the catholic devout as a blasphemous book that God is literally symbolized into a form of a African American woman named Elousia, it also said that this book also enclosed some of the other religious figure like the Holy Spirit, which in the novel was portrayed as a distinct Asian woman named Sarayu, which means “Wind” in foreign tongues. Also, Jesus was revealed in the Young’s novel as a stereo-type looking Middle Eastern native that has a facial flaw sporting a quite big nose, as the author telling that Jesus being a fully, truly human. Generally speaking, the majority of the readers judged the novel that Young’s authored that it is totally not related to any of the teachings in the bible and church.
