This book started out a little confusing but once I got the gist of it man it was remarkable. I really enjoyed reading this book. This story is truly about being lost and then being found. Yes the little girl was taken and never to return but the lost one was Mack. After losing the most precious person in his life he lost himself in a ditch of sorrow, guilt, anger, and sadness. For years he did not return to himself until one day he was found. He found happiness again and was delivered from his guilt and anger. A story about true forgiveness and what it's like to see things through God's eye. This story made me cry and smile all in the same chapter. ( ) I can’t recommend this book enough. Not the mystery I was expecting, but a study on God’s mercy. After his daughter is murdered, Mac Philips’ and his family’s is tested. It is at a visit to the sight of Missy’s murder that he comes face-to-face with God. Great story, great characters, much to think about (whether you agree with this point of view or not). [If you like this book, you should check out The Hawk and the Dove” series by Penelope Wilcox. Oh my Papa! I'm giving it two stars! I did not totally hate it! Even though it's full of cliches, 90% dialogue, and has a chapter called "Here Come Da Judge," I still found things to like about The Shack. For example, I completely see why my own sweet mother loved it. It takes all the things that are unsettling about religion and sweeps them under the rug. It's all about love, love, love, and happy endings to terrible tragedies and ways to cope with a sad, chaotic world. Not a bad way to become a self-published bestseller. (By the way, for an antidote to this, try [b:36 Arguments for the Existence of God|6734417|36 Arguments for the Existence of God A Work of Fiction|Rebecca Newberger Goldstein|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1275693456s/6734417.jpg|6930684].) I actually took notes while I was reading this, so I'm just going to transcribe them here: -Hilarious/genius simile: comparing a bump on the head to a humpback whale "breaching the wilds of his thinning hair." -Little Ladykiller? Really? Is it a terrifying homicidal pedophile or a very handsome midget? -Does the Bible have gilt edges or GUILT edges?! Oooooh. Deep. -The Holy Trinity is "two women, a man, and none of them white?" HOW CAN THIS BE?! -God listens to funk music? Again, HOW CAN THIS BE?! My preconceived notions are in TATTERS. -GOD CARES IF YOU GET THE TROTS. -Is this book anti-church? Anti-rules? Yes, sir. It's also anti-ritual and it says there's no Hell. If Jesus were not a main character, it would come awfully close to being hippie dippy Unitarian Universalism non-theology. Who knew a popular Christian book could be so liberal? -Direct quote from Jesus: "I'm not too big on religion." WHAT?! -"All evil flows from independence." Meaning you should not try to be independent from God. Interesting. -There is a lot of hugging and kissing in this book. Why does he need to tell us it's ON THE LIPS? -Direct quote from Holy Spirit: "I am a being verb." -Bottom line: God is responsible for everything good and nothing bad. All you need is love. Try not to get the trots.
Young's too-weird-for-the-pulpit thoughts about how Adam's rib and the female uterus form a "circle of relationship" have the appeal of knobby heirloom-produce in a world where much religion arrives vacuum-packed. His theories—how to believe in Adam while supporting particle-physics research; why the Lord is OK with your preference for lewd funk more than staid church music—accomplish what mainstream faiths tend to fail at: connecting recondite doctrine to the tastes, rhythms, and mores of modern life. ... And though the novel, as a novel, is a sinner's distance from perfection, it's an eloquent reminder that, for those who give some faith and effort to the writing craft, there is, even today, the chance to touch and heal enough strangers to work a little miracle. Would I recommend this book? No, I would not. It is full of theological problems as well as an irreverent and casual attitude toward God. Yes, there are nice things in it and people might even be helped by the book. But so what? There are some nice things in Mormonism, too. Should we encourage people to read the Book of Mormon because Mormonism might help someone feel better? Not at all. Sadly, experience has shown me that most Christians aren't interested in biblical fidelity. No, I'm not talking about biblical nit-picking. I'm talking about fidelity to the revealed word of God to the point where we don't contradict what is plainly stated in scripture! We Christians should regard the word of God as the final authority on all things, and any supposed accounts of actual occurrences should be compared to scripture, not our feelings, wants, and desires. In the case of The Shack, the book falls woefully short of scriptural truth in many important areas and has the strong ability to mislead people regarding God's nature, work, and plan for us. Again, I do not recommend it. Focusing on just three of the subjects William Young discusses in The Shack, we’ve seen that errors abound. He presents a false view of God and one that may well be described as heretical. He downplays the importance and uniqueness of the Bible, subjugating it or making it equal to other forms of subjective revelation. He misrepresents redemption and salvation, opening the door to the possibility of salvation outside of the completed work of Jesus Christ on the cross. We are left with an unbiblical understanding of the persons and nature of God and of His work in this world. HæderspriserDistinctionsNotable Lists
