The Shack
I just finished reading The Shack by William P. Young, and I thought I would give you a "review" of sorts. Overall, the book is a very good read with an excellent plot and development. Now, for those of you who aren't familiar with this book, it is the story of how a man, Mack, who has tragically lost his daughter, works through the pain and distrust that loss causes in his relationship with God. I must call to your attention that this is a work of FICTION. The author on his blog writes that this is a work of Fiction. It seems that there are people out there who believe it is real. (Once you read the book, you will understand why I am making this point.) Anyways, I don't agree with all of the theology you will find in it, but overall it is a good book that looks at our relationship with the Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) from a different perspective. It is well worth the read, but keep in mind it is not Scripture. If something said in the book doesn't match up with what you find in Scripture, then go with Scripture instead of the book. (That sounds really dumb to have to say, but apparently there are people out there...) :) Happy Reading!
