The Shack is one of the most difficult books that I have ever read.

I find The Shack incredibly deep, dealing with issues that plague so many believers and non-believers today. It can easily be discredited as being theologically unfaithful, I believe it is unwaveringly faithful to scripture. It must be understood to be a story that reveals deep understanding about God that many will completely miss. It is fiction, yet it reveals such truths about man and God.

"Why does God allow evil to succeed?" I don't know that "The Shack" answers this question, but it certainly raises this question.


The author has been healed of such deep woundedness inflicted by those that should have been his protector. Though it is not his actual life story, he is sharing his path to recovery and wholeness.

In short, I believe the author to be anointed of the Spirit, he could not have written with such depth otherwise.

You asked my opinion, and I present this post as exactly that.

To be honest, I don't necessarily even group things based on like or dislike, but based on if I found them stretching or thought provoking. I often read things that I vehemently disagree with (often on this forum! lol), and yet they make me think, and question and learn.

I am currently reading a book called "Not a Religious Person" about a former atheist. I am particularly enjoying it, not because it is making me think, but because it mirrors things that I have already independently thought.
