 Inspiring!!, 2008-07-26
The Shack is such an amazing book! His sense of writing is so touching that I felt so empowered after reading his book. Prayercatcher, a book by Kathy Lasseter and Kelly Hostetler is another life changing book that I love! Both are amazing reads!

A very moving story and a challenge to my belief about God,Jesus and the Holy Spirit which resulted in my greater assurance of the Trinity alive and well in my present experience. I am sharing the book with my family. I only kept wishing that the daughter could have been found and alive. But the ressurection of the saints will come someday and we will celebrate all the family members that have gone to Heaven.

I thought that this was an excellent book. I would recommend it to anyone who would like to see God in a different way.

Get it! Read it! Rejoice!, 2008-07-26
At 69 and with 40 years in the Christian ministry (Lutheran) I have wrestled with the problem of theodicy (If God is good and God is love, why is there so much pain and evil in the world?) many times. I think I am aquainted with most of the arguments, none of which entirely satisfy (including Rabbi Harold Kushner's "When Bad Things Happen to Good People") Although "fiction" Young's book is by far the most satisfying among this genre, at least for me. He takes the often thick and vague words of orthodox Christianity (eg. The doctrine of the Trinity) and turns them into a story which all of us can understand and believe. Forget the issues of "inerrancy" and "literalism." When you get done, at least if you consider yourself a Christian, you'll find yourself saying, "Yes, this story is true! Now I know why I can let myself be joyful, hope-filled, loving and free."

The Shack is nothing less than an elegant, paradigm-shifting, life-affirming piece of living artwork. I hadn't even heard of this book until three or four days ago when a series of synchronicities took place, culminating in my discovery of The Shack and subsequent purchase. I sort of questioned myself...no actually really questioned myself because I am not one to EVER purchase a bestseller and do not identify as a Christian. Well, I purchased the book anyway, and needless to say it took my breath away. Several more synchronicities occurred while reading the book that to me, are simply unexplainable and bring me great joy. I have already purchased two more copies to give to family and friends because I feel that this book is just that important. In addition, it is just wonderfully written, funny, suspenseful and engaging. You will laugh and cry and probably want to stay up all night reading. This is a book that will stay with you. Enjoy.
