The Shack - A different way to look at GodOctober 16, 2008 I read this book fully beleiving that it was a true story......in light of that it TORE me up emotionally. For God to speak to me in such a profound way was beyond my comprehension. Even though I later found out that it was not a true story, this book has forever changed the way I will view God. I have always had trouble seeing Him as a loving father, but that is no more. I also love the portrayal of the Holy Spirit. I have and will continue to reccomend this book to anyone who will listen to me.
Listen with both your heart and brain....October 16, 2008 Please take note that the author originally intended this story to be for his children and grandchildren, not the general public, so for those critiqueing his literary talents, get over yourselves and try doing a bit of research before pecking away at his literary talents. The story is not meant to thrill you in the traditional sense, but rather to propose a fresh, embracing, and intensely personal (sometimes uncomfortable) way to think of God's relationship with his Creation. Worth a second read to fully appreciate the author's theology. Provides a unique viewpoint with respect to The Trinity and how frail the human attempt to interpret it. Regardless of your "religious" background, the overall message is thought provoking and the storyline taps into our greatest fear - being alone when it's all said and done and why this fear is our own doing.
This message is a real Gift!October 16, 2008 This story is a gift to a troubled world that needs answers. It is not meant to be theology or religion. It is intended to show the reader how to have a relationship with God in the Trinity. The story is touching and very personal for the main character and the author. The reader has very little difficulty identifying with the issues of love and faith. This book would be an excellent gift to anyone who is searching for Truth.
It is a must readOctober 16, 2008 If ever you have doubted the love of God, or wondered how could He sit around while the world continues in its evil ways, or if you want to know what a relationship with God should be like, this is the book for you. It is one that you'll never want to give away, but will want everyone around you to read. I highly recommend reading it - slowly and with as little distraction as possible.
Amazing! Thought provoking!October 15, 2008 If you have ever really considered your personal relationship with the Lord...............read this book! It will take your thoughts of you and the Lord to a greater revelations! So inspiring!
