 - Spiritually encouragingThis author captures what organized religion does not. The story is compeling but the true richness of this message is that we can all be "friends" with God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit without denominational considerations. This world is depressing and discouraging. Many have had bad experiences with organized religion. You will not be able to put this book down and you will purchase many copies to give to friends. I loved this book! My Christian faith is renewed with the concepts presented. Rating: - The ShackThis book challenges established beliefs of who God is and how He moves and works in the world. It may appeal to persons who have previously turned away from belief in an almighty God who loves and cares for us all. It certainly challenges an established believer to rethink his concepts of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Rating: - The Shack - Read it!I read this as a library book, then purchased 3 copies...one for me to keep so I could make margin notes and highlight, as well as one for my son and my daughter for Christmas. Excellent book...good plot, creative, thought-provoking. It will hold everyone's attention, yet it's more than that. It gets you thinking. Rating: - The ShackThis book is a deeply moving book that brings hope to anyone suffering the lose of someone. Even knowing that the premise is a fictional interpretation of some of the characters, it gives a sense of knowing that the real ones have the same qualities only on a more divine level. We have all lost someone at some point in our lives, and though we may have gone through our grief we can find comfort knowing that they are in a much better place and in a much more comfortable condition. This is a book I will lend out and pick up and read again and again if for no other reason but the comfort it provides. I highly recommend it!!!! Rating: - Remember, it's fiction!THE SHACK was highly recommended and also forbidden by good friends of mine. I read it and found it quite thought-provoking. I am thrilled that it has such a wide audience and hopeful that it will stimulate conversation about the spiritual aspects. The most important thing to remember throughout the text, I believe, is that it was written as fiction and not as theology. It gives food for thought and discussion with Christians and non-Christians alike. It would be interesting to compare the theology of THE SHACK with the truths of THE BIBLE. Maybe in Mr. Young's next book?? In association with Amazon.com | |
