Despite its flaws, The Shack is an imaginative and sincere book that will bring many readers comfort. While reassuring them that God does exist, it will also make many people, who would not otherwise have done so, begin to question traditional visions of the Christian God. And that can only be benef...
I usually don't rate books I DNF but after I suffered through almost a 1/3 of this book, I think I have the right.Despite the pompous subtitle and the fact that I'm a non believer, the description of this book interested me. I expected an emotional story where a man confronts God and demands answers...
First things first, this is NOT a Christian book. This book started out so well but devolved into a distortion of Biblical truth and a teacher of false theology. The view of God presented here may be the wishful thinking of the broad populace, but it is not the God present in the Bible as it claim...
I was given this as a Christmas gift by my mother and didn't want to hurt her feelings by not reading it. I was shocked at how much I liked this given my dislike of reading of religious material. The story kept my interest and I think gave a "good moral". A bit goofy at times..I did enjoy the read.
Here's the thing. I'm an Atheist, and read this book for the simple fact that we all need answers. I enjoyed the way this book was written but it only strengthened my belief or lack-there-of that there is not a "god". To me, this is purely fiction. The book actually angered me in some spots. Simply ...
The fictional tale of Mackenzie Allen Phillips younger daughter and the tale of her possible murder is heart breaking and sickening to the soul which is why Mackenzie still grieves what he can not get back . The sudden note from God is a blessing undisguised.I loved the story so much I really wish s...
I thought this was a great work of fiction for a seemingly religious book. It was heartbreaking at times and funny at times. It made me think of things differently, especially judgment, how I and everyone judge people, things prior to really knowing who or what they are really about, I guess you c...
I am having a hard time articulating my thoughts about "The Shack." I'm a walkaway from what I now understand was a somewhat abusive, conservative/fundamentalist church and have only recently begun to re-explore Christian theology. Having found a progressive church was a great start on the road.My...
I first heard of The Shack by William P. Young in early 2008, and although some people were hailing it as an 'it-changed-my-life' masterpiece, I was aware that some very influential preachers were condemning it as pure heresy. Now, having read the book I will simply say that it is without a doubt th...
The problem I have with religious novels is that too often they read like parables, and just feel contrived. Unfortunately, this one was no exception. Since I'm not religious, one might think I am being too hard on this book because I am biased; which may be part of it, but I still tried to read it ...
