 Overwhelming November 19, 2008

The Shack
This book is strictly for devout christian believers. You would have to believe in all the Grimm's Fairy Tales to believe this fable. If you're near death and desperately need something to believe in, this is the book for you.
The explanation for why the little girl died is unsatisfactory and totally confusing, especially when "Papa" says they could have prevented her death. This author lives in la-la land.

This book is fairly openly a presentation of orthodox biblical, systematic theology in the form of an unorthodox, fascinating story. (As long as the readers do not stumble over the characterizations of the three persons of the Trinity, which make for stimulaing thought and conversation too!). As I was reading this story, I identified each topic and noted it on the top of each page for easy reference. The story could be used as a stimulating tool for a great small group Bible study for teens and above. Maybe a study guide will be developed in the near future.
Inspirational, thought provoking. November 19, 2008

I absolutely loved this book. The way the book ended was unexpected, because of the way the story drew you in. Until you read the book that might not make sence. But I highly recomend you read it to see for yourselves. The book really draws out your emotions, I felt joy to the point of laughing out loud and sadness to the point of tears. The tragedy was a hard one to swallow. Because of the emotions something like this invokes you really get the idea as to how God our Father really loves us.

this book was a colossal waste of time. the story was convoluted, overly melodramatic, the "real" parts were unrealistic, boarding on sappy, and the allegorical parts were trite. as someone who needs some help with my own "great sadness"--this book was unsatisfying...

The book entitled "The Shack" was never received nor was any response to my email ever received. I await payment from Amazon.
