I am probably the last person who is involved in the Christian world to read and blog about The Shack. What can I say? I am NOT an early adopter when it comes to Christian literature, books, trends. I’ve been burnt a few too many times by books that I was convinced were “amazing,” “life changing,” blah blah blah.
This book…this book is an exception to my cynicism. I love the way that it was written. I love that William Young messed with my mind by changing the character of God. I appreciate the characterization of the Holy Spirit. My heart broke in a million pieces as I was reading it…but then somehow something in me changed as I read on.
I don’t 100% agree with some of the doctrine that was presented…but the overall book…I would recommend to anyone and everyone. I’m probably going to buy a bunch and send them to some people I know…
Onto Wild Goose Chase. Can’t wait.
your humble chillpastor has not read that book yet…I did order 26 books that I will read parts of over this next few months…

I was set not to like the book, The Shack but after reading it, I thought it was really good and thought provoking. All the time I reaad it, I kept thinking it needs a study to go along with it. I finally decided God was urging me to write a study which I did. If anyone would like it, email me at prayerdigm.bookstudy@yahoo.com. I would be glad to send you the study. You are welcome to use it and copy it for others.
