The Shack

On Vacation, I was reading the book "The Shack", I finished it on the plane on the way home (as I did not have time on vacation) and what an outstanding book! I don't get the mixed reviews it has gotten? Some people really dislike it and there are others who loved it? I am one who LOVED it! I loved the whole premise of it.I can see how some people would be uncomfortable with it as the book does bring God as a Black Woman and some may find that really wrong. I found that to be the really exciting part as the author was showing us that our preconceived notions of God are just that "preconceived". We imagine God to be some form of "white man" and I loved the fact that by bringing Him the way he did, it showed me that what ever we think God to be, He is not and yet He is all things. I loved how Jesus was portrayed. (just as I see Him) The part how people die, even in a horrific way, showed us that Jesus is right there with us. There is not anything about the book that I disliked and although I can see how some may find the book of no significance, it is in fact fiction and I, myself found it to be a very good read! So, if you are looking for a good book? Try "The Shack" it is truly a wonderful "fiction" book and I cant wait to read it again! To quote my very intelligent daughter: The Shack does a good job of lamonizing things in the Bible so that we can comprehend them! Well said, Sissy!
