I don’t think I’m in the minority, when I say I’ve encountered a lot of people reading and referring “The Shack.” From my experience over the years there are many Christian Fad books that come and go. They sell millions and become very popular. (does anyone remember the Prayer of Jabez? How about the Purpose Driven Life?). Often times these books sell millions of copies, and are forgotten a few years later. What shocks me, is that people will not do any research into a book before spending 5-12 hours of their life reading it. Such as reading reviews. The sad part is that often these kind of books have many problems from a Christian perspective, ranging from theological error, to outright blasphemy. Sadly the Shack contains both of these. With Christian discernment at an all time low, it is not surprising that a book that is fresh, fast paced, easy to read and touches on something that everybody contemplates (pain and suffering, and where God is through it), has done so well. I was going to list some quotes from the text that send chills down your spine - but I’ll let you read them for yourself in the following reviews.
