Canada, Author May 11, 1955
William Paul Young, referred to generally as Wm. Paul Young or simply Paul Young, (born May 11, 1955) is a Canadian author. He wrote the novels The Shack, Cross Roads and Eve.
Religion and anger has gone together a lot, historically. My father, being very religious and angry, was trying to reconcile the ideas of love and forgiveness with damage in his own heart. We historically create God in the image of someone who will redeem us, or someone who has damaged us. A lot of my imaginations of God was a projection of my own damage because of my father. God is good but he has a lot of expectations, of which I have failed -- just like my dad. But I don't think it's truthful to create God as a projection of either our damage or our altruism.

Love is much stronger than your fault could ever be.
