Although fiction, this book should be included with every Bible bought. It gives a markedly new perspective on relationships -- among the Trinity, the Trinity and you, and all your human relationships. It will change every relationship you've got and cost you a box of facial tissue as well!
This book was an incredible chore for me to read. The book is tagged as Where Tragedy Confronts Eternity and, for the most part, the tragedy part was mildly compelling. However, once inside The Shack, (where the original tragedy occurred and where the lead character is summoned years later by a c...
The shack is a thing, in a place, where good and evil co-exist – if the reader wants to interpret it that way. Something happened at or around the shack – it could have been anything; but for whatever happened, a story wove through it and a set of conclusions to be deduced sat amongst the words of t...
I finally got around to reading "The Shack" after it sat in my "To Be Read" pile for quite some time.

But don't expect any intelligent argument or masterful prose.I got this book because I...
Reading this felt like I had to endure the worst of both worlds. The horrific occurrence of the murder of a child, juxtaposition with stale Matrix wannabes and Disney characters. Nothing new but the ugly taste, like washing down jelly beans with sour milk.

Partly that is because I have too many books, partly it is because I was afraid to read this book. A guy who goes to a shack and has a conversatio...
I find myself unable to fully embrace this book. While some of the ideas are compelling and very interesting (and match my own faith), the fact that it presents itself like Truth seems problematic. After all, it's a work of fiction by a human being. I would have preferred it as a non-fiction book on...
Well, I guess I am a late-comer to this party, so I don't have a whole lot to add. I have been trying to figure out how to "rate" this book. I felt that any complaint as to the writing style would raise the eyebrows of the adoring, and any complaints on the theology, the eyebrows of the religious. S...
