The Shack - Rated
One of the most moving stories that I have read in a long time, I've laughed and cried, mostly the tears of joy, although it is fiction it has the ability to awaken a deeper truth and sense of being within you that makes the story real whatever your religious beliefs or your own innate sense of spirituality. A must, excellent as an audio book too. I have bought more copies to give to friends.
The Shack - Rated
Enjoyed this book and left me with warm glow. Not sure if this simply because it reinforces my belief that God is a warm, loving and ultimately forgiving being.
Worth reading to make you think - Rated
The Shack is a readable introduction to some of those teasing questions which living by faith brings up. Questions about pain and suffering, heaven and hell, judgment and punishment and a whole lot more. It starts off with the story of Mack, a man broken up by the abduction of his daughter, who is then given the chance to explore his questioning of why God should allow such a terrible event.
There are no answers to these great questions, rather a series of fascinating conversations between Mack and the trio that is God - God the Father, portrayed as a larger-than-life black momma called Papa (the whole book is rather surreal!), Jesus (in jeans and tee-shirt, of course!) and a wispy Spirit called Sarayu. So this is a traditional trinitarian view of God which may disappoint some readers who are trying to think outside that particular box. Nevertheless, the conversations are well worth working through because they make you reconsider some of the traditional teaching of the Churches - not necessarily to debunk it, but certainly to challenge our easy acceptance of some of that teaching.
For people willing to spend serious time and energy reading this very readable book, the experience will be well worth while.
Repulsive - Rated
I found this book repulsive. I hadn't realized it was going to be a religious sermon when I picked it off the library shelf. It's saccharine and overtly sentimental and full of claptrap. What makes it even more nauseating is the way the death of a young girl is used to explain why "God loves you". Ugh.
good book - Rated
The Shack is easy to read and even though it is fiction the tragidy in it's pages is all to common so it draws you in to this man experience. I really enjoyed it
