You'll either love it or you won't!December 1, 2008 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Wow! Hardly any of the middle stars in the reviews (almost none). Reviewers either selected 5 stars or 1 star! That must mean there really is something to this book! I have been going through a tough time emotionally as of late (forget black friday... this was my black November). A real time of searching. A "What have I been created for type of thing." And I must say, I have found great healing in this book. After reading one of the chapters I realized that I no longer believed in God. I used to, but now I didn't any longer. What I mean by that is I used to believe in the real, touchable, miracle working God. But, somehow over time, my faith had dwindled to the point where I almost didn't see God as touchable... or good... anymore. This book is helping to revive that belief in God that I had with Him at the start... when all things were new. That is about all I can say for now. But, I am glad that this book crossed my path. And if the message in the book is true, then I'd have to say that it was by divine appointment that brought this book my way. Thank-you God!
The ShackDecember 1, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This story touched me so deeply that I had to go out and buy several copies to give as christmas gifts. It reminds me that God could be anyone, anywhere, at anytime. Makes you stop and re-evaluate youself and your attitude. A must read!

When I started reading, I couldn't put it down. The Shack is a gripping story that beautifully illustrates God's desire for deep, intimate relationship with us. I would say this is a "must read" regardless of your "religious" orientation.
One of the best books I have ever listened to !!!December 1, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am so glad I purchased the audio book. Listening to this really helped me understand what was going on. The author did an amazing job narrating the book. The book has made me feel so much closer to God and has helped me answer questions I was always struggling with. I have been recommending this book to everyone I know.

I couldn't put it down. It inspired me and strengthened my belief in God and gave comfort to the age old question of why bad things happen to good people. If you plan to read any books this coming year, make it this one.
