 Shocked to be undone April 3, 2008

3 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book was rather shocking initially, but I was soon undone by the love and compassion. I've ordered many copies for family and friends. And I"m eagerly awaiting their responses.
The opened heart and soul April 2, 2008

I have just finished "The Shack." How amazing! I cannot recommend it more highly than five stars. I would give it six if I could. How glorious if each reader would open his/her heart and soul!
A thought on grace and tolerance April 2, 2008

After reading so many reviews 5 stars to 1 star . . . I decided to review us reviewers instead as you can find out much about this book from other's thoughts and then reading it yourself.
I pray we find a way to have more tolerance towards one another. God finds a way to bring us Love in different ways. Some find Him through a trauma (I am a nursing student and have seen this many times), some find Him through a positive experience, some find Him through a song or a dance, it can go on and on. But I believe all of us find Him through what touches our hearts at the deepest levels. If people read this book and it happens to open the door to His love more than the Bible did, then thank God for this book! Any person worth their salt will know that the Bible is historically and divinely different than any other book. They will also know that this book is fictional *BUT* for a seeker the Bible can be very intimidating and hard to understand at first.
I know, I have been there. I had been seeking God for many years and the Bible just seemed so distant and I couldn't understand the language of how things are written. A science-based book called "The Language of God" is what opened my door, not the Bible. It spoke to my heart in the way I had come to Love God in the beauty of DNA because that is what I understand best through my life experiences. I had to have a conceptual framework to first understand who God was before I could open up the Bible and appreciate what God was trying to tell me.
Anyone that expects a seeker or someone stuggling in their path to only look at the Bible as the ONLY way to find God is not giving out a lot of grace to people with confused minds and broken hearts and our lack of tolerance will only push them further away. I read the Bible daily now and knew all along that it is the authoritative book even though I was seeking in other sources. Please just give people some space to get there on their own, trust me - once you get a little taste of the Truth, no one will stop there, they will want more. Eventually they will get to the Bible and they will love and appreciate it more when they do.
Much love and patience and kindeness and sunshine and lollypops out there to everyone, God loves us ALL!
Great Book -- Really makes you think April 1, 2008

2 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book is excellent! It really makes you think about why you believe what you believe about God. The story of this man's pain and how God pursued him to help him reach a new level of healing is really worth reading. God pursues each one of us... sometimes we pick up on it and sometimes we don't. I love how the author represented God when "Papa" said... if I know it will take 42 times to get my point across to you and you don't get it on the 5th try, why would I be upset? -- It is a true picture of God's grace and his patience with us. He desires for all of mankind to love Him and serve Him, but he will never cross the line of free will to attain that relationship. This life is all about relationship with Him. This book will challenge your views about religion and how to attain that relationship. It is definately worth the read.
 Dangerous fiction as to what the trinity is! April 1, 2008
Happy Mom (Washington)
22 out of 32 found this review helpful
Fiction should only go as far as to expound upon the truth when it comes to dealing with God and the Bible. This book creates deceptive depictions of who God and the trinity are. It causes dangerous parallels between secular relationships of "political correctness" and "oneness" and attempts to skew what the trinity is. I think it is a step back for Christianity and an understanding of who God truly is. Do not use this book as anything BUT fiction, because it does NOT accurately depict God, it does NOT properly explain the trinity, and honestly is an insult to true and good Christian fiction.
