Search - The Shack

It's very moving and uplifting. This book helps you to understand why a relationship with God is so important and explains very well that God doesn't punish people for sins real or imagined. For the people who think it humanizes God, I think in this instance, a humanized God, Jesus and Holy Spirit are just what the main character needs, otherwise his journey wouldn't have been accomplished.

I have read some books that have touched my soul, and have spoke to me, but none like this one has. A book that had me in tears, had me laughing, had me looking inward as to my beliefs and thoughts. It may be a work of fiction, but the way the author portrays the personas of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost is so unbelievably real that you find yourself wanting that intimate contact also. A book that teaches that it is not the church building that is as important as it is the daily walk with God and his people. This book takes a very believable character, Mac, or Mckenzie as he is sometimes called, as the main character, and shows how he handles a devastating tragedy in his family, how it affects him, his family around him, and brings him fact to face with God and how this meeting affects all; his anger, his guilt, his shame, his grief. Even if you are not a believer, this is a fiction book that has a great plot, wonderful characters, and a very soul stirring message. A MUST READ for everyone!

This is a very thought provoking book that can apply to anyone's vision of God, and can answer some serious questions about why there is pain in the world.

The story about Missy is heart-wrenching, and the author does a service by not ging into detail about Missy's torture.

For me, it was a one day read that was two stories in one...Missy's story and her father's path to seek the truth.

This book is not a keeper for me, since I usually do not revel in reading religious fiction. However, I believe that it is a book to be shared, and one that may help all walks of religion find some answers to more commonly sought questions regarding religion.

A beautiful read.

Great Read
