Book Review - The Shack


Recently I finished reading this book, The Shack. It was recommended to me by my brother in law and so I went ahead and purchased it online through Amazon.ca. It took me a bit to open it up and get reading since I am not a prolific reader. When I did start it, I had a hard time putting it down! I normally read before I go to sleep, so it was necessary to let it go for another night and day!

This book is OFF THE WALL! This is my opinion. Great reading for sure! But to imagine God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit etc as humans doing fairly normal human things was really stretching me. I know I really enjoyed the book to open up my horizons and my understanding about God. They did do some fantastic things that only could be done by diety. The love that was there for the main character was also so good to read. I know that the book is fiction but it does have a good story line and I enjoyed how it ended as well.

So if you want to expand your horizons of understanding of who God is, read the book. If you are looking for sound theology, then don't read the book.
