MY review of The Shack
I really liked this book. Sure, it is not the best written book as fluidity goes but it was entertaining. I will not say that everyone should read this book as part of their walk in faith, it is not a book meant to teach you something biblical. But it did reveal God’s love to me in terms I could understand and also helped me see the Trinity in a way that I could understand.
Anyone cautioning people to not read this book because it is not biblically true needs to remember that this is a NOVEL, written originally for the writer’s children, never intended to be published. In the same way that the Left Behind Series is fictional with some theology thrown in, I think The Shack should be approached in the same manner. Take it with salt, get what you can out of it.
The Shack is not a theological statement, does not have a purpose other than being a story to perhaps show that God loves us all, is everywhere and is not responsible for the bad things that happen in our lives. But we know this already….this is just a story that shows it one particular way form human understanding!
