Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. while I appreciate the desire to answer age old questions-the need to understand how an all powerful and loving God can allow evil to exist in the world- I found the quality of the story and writing to interfere with the message ( ) 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. Esta história deve ser lida como se fosse uma oração – a melhor forma de oração, cheia de ternura, amor, transparência e surpresas. Se você tiver que escolher apenas um livro de ficção para ler este ano, leia A cabana." - Michael W. Smith Publicado nos Estados Unidos por uma editora pequena, A cabana se revelou um desses livros raros que, através do entusiasmo e da indicação dos leitores, se torna um fenômeno de público – já são quase dois milhões de exemplares vendidos – e de imprensa. Durante uma viagem de fim de semana, a filha mais nova de Mack Allen Phillips é raptada e evidências de que ela foi brutalmente assassinada são encontradas numa cabana abandonada. Após quatro anos vivendo numa tristeza profunda causada pela culpa e pela saudade da menina, Mack recebe um estranho bilhete, aparentemente escrito por Deus, convidando-o para voltar à cabana onde aconteceu a tragédia. Apesar de desconfiado, ele vai ao local do crime numa tarde de inverno e adentra passo a passo no cenário de seu mais terrível pesadelo. Mas o que ele encontra lá muda o seu destino para sempre. Em um mundo tão cruel e injusto, A cabana levanta um questionamento atemporal: se Deus é tão poderoso, por que não faz nada para amenizar o nosso sofrimento? As respostas que Mack encontra vão surpreender você e podem transformar sua vida de forma tão profunda quanto transformou a dele. Você vai querer partilhar este livro com todas as pessoas que ama.
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
