This book caused me to love God more than I already do...love him because his love his pure and non-manipulative...real love. This book caused me to want to spend even more time with him than I do. So I do. This book resonated within me and all the scriptures I have read, and the over-arching theme of God's pursuit of his creation.

The Shack is a novel, after all, not a systematic theology. Keep that in mind when reading The Shack. Despite its weaknesses, this is a story with the potential to wake readers up, to rekindle or reinvigorate their faith. In an era when so much Christian fiction is about pat answers, conventional themes, and the regurgitation of what we already know and believe, such stories are good news for thoughtful readers."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474625377876976766.post-77953931182060511762009-01-31T21:02:00.000-06:002009-01-31T21:02:00.000-06:00Mascara ran down my cheeks and eyes were swollen. ...Mascara ran down my cheeks and eyes were swollen.

I have also read He Loves Me by Wayne Jacobson and loves it as well. I do see the danger though that could come from seeing God as only a god of love. He is love, but He is also Righteous and Perfect. He loves us, but He does hate our sin because it separates us from Him. I think that just like with anything else, some could take it too far and lose sight of the holiness of God Almighty. And this would be not fault of the author, but just a misinterpretation of what he was striving to portray. In coming to understand our God in new and amazing ways, I am in awe of the fact that a perfect, holy, and righteous God would pursue a relationship with me when I am anything but those things. As I am in relationship with Him, He gives me a desire to turn from those things that would separate me from Him. Not doing certain things or doing certain things does not make Him love me more or less, but my choosing to live and think independently from Him will cause my relationship with Him to be strained just like a parent/child relationship is strained when the child chooses to go their own way and not follow the advice of the parent (in the case of a parent who is parenting as God would have them to). We have to be aware that the enemy will attempt to take and twist any and all of God's truth (whether it be His love or His righteousness) into something that is a lie. My prayer is that the followers of Jesus here in this land will desire to walk so close to the Savior and be so filled with Who He is that it will overflow and spill over onto the lives of those who do not know Him and that Christ and Who He is will be so irresistible and desirable that they will not be able to resist Him and His love for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474625377876976766.post-24083129790507881892009-01-13T17:40:00.000-06:002009-01-13T17:40:00.000-06:00Jan 13, 2009, I am in the process of reading "The ...Jan 13, 2009, I am in the process of reading "The Shack". I must say it is thought prevoking in the least. I can understand why God is presented as He/She is. Had He be presented as a father figure for Mack, it would have been an immediate turn off for him. This book goes far in strengthening my beliefs in the three persons of the Trinity. I like the way the author has personalized all of them into believeable caracters that one can identify with. I can't wait to see what the outcome will be for Mack.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474625377876976766.post-14961941541992097962009-01-06T01:46:00.000-06:002009-01-06T01:46:00.000-06:00I have just read The Shack and can say with comple...I have just read The Shack and can say with complete honesty that I have never before read a book that changed my life; but this one did. I’m not a bible thumper and I certainly do not purport to be a theologian. <BR/><BR/>You see I have for most of my adult life been looking forward to dying. Now don’t take that the wrong way, I’m not suicidal, I don’t take unnecessary risk in the off chance that death may occur. And so no one mistakes the first sentence I do not in anyway want to hurry my own demise. What I do want though, is to meet God. And it’s not for a sit down around the camp fire and hold hands sort of a chat.<BR/><BR/>I have wanted to meet God so I can scream at the top of my lungs; “Why did you make me broken? Why was I born with my disability? Why can’t I be normal?” (And just a little FYI here if you think “normal” is overrated it’s only because you don’t know what truly being different is like.) This feeling is not something that I pondered about yesterday or the day before. I have felt like this for decades. When Mack let God have it and yelled the only thing I could think was, “you go buddy.” And again for those who aren’t catching on….yer damn right I blame him! Is this selfish…yes, is this wrong, yes. And is this how I truly feel deep down in my heart…..YES!<BR/><BR/>All the above was true right up until I finished reading it. I can’t even point exactly where in the book I changed my mind about blaming God. I just know that I did. So maybe the book isn’t perfect, maybe the theology is wrong. But one thing I can say, for me, it helped remove a shadow over my heart that was damaging my relationship with Jesus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474625377876976766.post-78753598227758673922009-01-05T18:42:00.000-06:002009-01-05T18:42:00.000-06:00I read the book and I realized many things.

I am one of those whose faith is not based on what I hear or what I read or what the Church taught me, but on my experience of God in my life, and I thought that was portrayed in the book (at least how I understood it). We will all have different interpretations of the book. Some may like it, some may not. Some will look for facts and some will simply look for good thoughts, some learnings and realizations.

If you had, i'm pretty sure someone could have pointed you to what you misread or misunderstood, and explain it to you - presuming your doctrine is based on an understanding of the biblical text.<BR/><BR/>I think there is much candied sugar coated bandying about in what's taught from pulpits each sunday (from my experience anyway) - and the content of the shack, stands up to the biblical text it is based on (the theological bits) - i do get it's a parable.<BR/><BR/>i find it deplorable that you justify your mud slinging with some out-of-context bible verse.<BR/><BR/>if you're unhappy with the theology, why don't you be a good boyscout, and google it - there's a chance you'd find an explanation for any of the issues you may have. Whether you agree with them is up to you, but at least you would have made an effort to see if maybe some people thought the theology in the shack actually had biblical basis (and they backed it up with a biblical basis). <BR/><BR/>Then maybe you wouldn't have gone and posted some random rubbish in this comment thread.<BR/><BR/>make an effort next time. i don't care if you disagree, just don't be so ignorant about it next time.<BR/><BR/>throwing mud isn't nice, dude.Camhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01489795333758467960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474625377876976766.post-74984779498719785802008-12-30T19:44:00.000-06:002008-12-30T19:44:00.000-06:00Sadly, this book contains too many theological and...Sadly, this book contains too many theological and doctrinal errors to be considered a serious journey into the heart of God. As I read The Shack, I started to compile a list of those heresies but gave up because they were too numerous.<BR/><BR/>The reason this book resonates with so many is because we live in a time when people embrace a "cotton candy gospel"; a message that is sweet and tasty but devoid of any nutritional value. This should not be suprising as the apostle Paul warned Timothy "for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine.....they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables". <BR/><BR/>For something of real substance, read A.W. Tozer. He can carry you closer to the heart of God in two sentences than this fable can in 248.kdlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03350306544425394119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474625377876976766.post-10709715573039387332008-12-17T15:44:00.000-06:002008-12-17T15:44:00.000-06:00I just finished reading The Shack last Monday. I ...I just finished reading The Shack last Monday. I had to put it down every once in a while because my heart just ached to see the face of my Papa. Years before the book came out, I began calling God 'Papa' (ironically, I call my hubby 'Love') and because my friend knew about this, she couldn't wait to tell me about the book.<BR/><BR/>How did the book affect me... I can only put it this way. I can hear a hundred sermons telling me about the deep love of God, but for some reason, it never affects my heart as it does when I read about His love in metaphorical terms. I think this is why The Chronicals of Narnia touch so many people. Every time I read the stories, I can't wait for Aslan's entrance.<BR/><BR/>I think the problem lies in that we expect to hear about God's love in Church, but when authors use creative devices, such as metaphors, it brings the truth home to us in fresh ways. The Master story teller knew this, which is why a majority of the Gospels where Jesus is trying to tell us about God and heaven, he used parables to bring the truth home.<BR/><BR/>I've had many 'shack' experiences long before I found the book, and the one truth that stands out to me is that I see God most clearly in the center of my confusion and pain. I miscarried a week before I found out my sister was pregnant. She had her baby two days after my baby was due. Through the questions ("Why did you let her keep her baby?", and "Why did this happen now, of all times")God kept drawing me past the questions to the truth that regardless of the pain I may be experiencing, His love is so much greater. I can hold on to my pain, or I can surrender it to the one I have trusted to carry me. I chose the latter and it has made all the difference in the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474625377876976766.post-30423132733992003642008-10-20T18:26:00.000-05:002008-10-20T18:26:00.000-05:00I am a strong christian and I do not agree with so...I am a strong christian and I do not agree with some of the things.

As a person who has had great trials in life I understood what the author was trying to get across. The trinity is a relationship of giving without conditions. This should be the way we have relationships but so often it is not the case. We want so much in return. However, when you know that God is your life you can give without recieving a thing. I did not see as others have that this book went against doctrine. I am a devout Catholic and I know so well about doctrine. I have learned in my religious studies just what the book encompasses. God is Love. We are the church and the church is his bride. I loved how the book talked about God not just being at the top of our priorities but all we are. Peter was his most beloved disciple and he denied Jesus three times, as proof we are all sinners. The Church is not perfect but it tries to teach that God is Love and Jesus is the only way to him. I thought it did a great job of discibing why God allows evil to happen and most of all how we should not judge one another, that is for God to do and for us to love one another.<BR/>Pax Christi,<BR/>KpainAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474625377876976766.post-71685589760498026812008-10-07T03:10:00.000-05:002008-10-07T03:10:00.000-05:00I finished the book...reading through then going b...I finished the book...reading through then going back and reading slowly to let it sink in over the last week.

Let me ask you something, as you were reading this book, would you find yourself putting it down and doing something else, only to hear God speaking to you and pouring more wisdom into you, and when you finally picked the book back you, you would realize that everything that God just told you, was what was on the next few pages of the book?<BR/><BR/>I just finished reading it yesterday. It's rather exciting when you're laying on the floor crying uncontrollably and all that you can say is, "You are good...." you try to form other words of praise to speak to God, but nothing else comes out.<BR/><BR/>You found the true meaning of what God wants to do with this book, and that is to show people that He is good.<BR/><BR/>As far as the negative reviews, there's something God has revealed to me, and it may help all of you out there who just get mad at the negative reviews.<BR/><BR/>While this book will open up your relationship with God in a whole new way, you have to realize something. The Shack, for a person who has a thriving relationship with God, and plenty of scriptural knowledge, and (dare I say) good theology, this book will blow the door off of the hinges and God will begin to pour in as much as you're willing to receive. <BR/><BR/>But....To those who do not have a good biblical foundation in Christ...This book can be very dangerous. Why? Because we live in a culture in which everybody supposedly is saved. I've never met anybody who said, "Nope, I'm not going to heaven, I'm going to hell..." <BR/><BR/>But the biblical truth is that "narrow is the way and few there be which find it" <BR/><BR/>Here's my thing, all of the negative reviews, are written by people who are so caught up in seeking after truth, they stop seeking after God. Before I ever started reading this book, God started showing me that Christianity is not about doctrine, or truth, or good theology. It's about Him. You see, so many times we can get so caught up in making sure that everything fits in with our idea of what scripture says, that we completely miss what God is trying to show us. <BR/><BR/>God reveals to us that most of American Christianity is almost totally wrong, and instead of drawing nearer to God, we completely shut ourselves off from God, and close ourselves in a closet filled with our own judgments of others. A man will walk up to us to ask us a question, and we'll tell ourselves, "Well this man isn't saved, No need to talk with him." And in all reality, God was trying to show us something completely different through this man.<BR/><BR/>When our doctrine becomes our God, I'm sorry people, but it's idolatry. You know, even the bible can become an idol. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. That means that you focus your heart on God. You say to Him, "God, you're God, and I can't comprehend what that means, but I don't have to, all that I need to know is that Jesus died and rose again, and through the cross I'm reconciled....And I know that you're good, and you're going to take care of everything else, all I have to do is believe that you are who you say you are."<BR/><BR/>God brought me to that place a few days before even getting The Shack in my hands. He left me on the floor crying out (loudly) saying, "God, I don't know ANYTHING!!!... All of my knowledge about this and that and who I think you are and what I think you're doing and how I think you should do things, or how I think you actually do things.....It all means nothing....All that I know is Jesus, and that's all I have to know." And then I was free....<BR/><BR/>Free from all of the wrong thinking. Why was I free? Because I wasn't worrying about having the wrong mindset on things. I was trusting in Christ. I was no longer trusting in my ability to perform as I thought a Christian should perform, but I was trusting in Christ's performance. It's no longer my way of thinking that matters, but Christ's. It was then that God began to set everything right in my mind. When I gave up trying to do it on my own.<BR/><BR/>There's a verse in the bible, it says, "God knows all the thoughts of man, that they are vain."<BR/>Beautiful isn't it? <BR/><BR/>So, all of you theology buffs, seminary grads, and intellectual calvinists, realize this. I fully understand your fear that this book, "The Shack" can damage a lot of people who don't understand the true Gospel. But you need to open your mind up past what you understand about God. Don't throw out the scriptures, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying realize that you may be wrong. That God may be trying to give you a new revelation about Himself, but your mindset is preventing you from hearing Him. <BR/><BR/>Something interesting about all of the uproar about this book and the negative reviews. It all makes perfect sense to me how most of this book ties in with scripture precisely. Most, not all (But those things that don't fit in you have to stop looking so far into it and just say, "I don't understand, but God does). But, what was interesting is that when Jesus came the first time, people studied the scriptures, and yet they went on their own interpretation and not God's. Didn't Jesus always use scripture, and describe God in a way that man didn't comprehend or accept? <BR/><BR/>Scripture is not there for us to figure out. It's there for us to realize that Jesus is the only way. The only way to what? Heaven? Yes. To escape from hell? Yes. To understand all that we need to know about God? Yes. <BR/><BR/>It's not us that God is looking at. It's not our understanding of truth that matters. We can argue over this and that all day long. We can argue over what's correct doctrine and what's not correct doctrine. What's a sin, and what's not a sin. But we need to realize that all of that.... It's nothing more than legalism, in it's basest form. We say, "This mode of thinking is right and there is no other way to think!" but God says, "Jesus is right and all else is wrong." <BR/><BR/>Do you know that the view that the God who sits on the throne waiting to cast everyone into Hell for every wrong thing they do does? It destroys the concept of love. <BR/><BR/>So wait, I know, I know, that made you mad. You're saying, "God is on the throne and you should fear Him!" First off, you're correct, but why should I fear Him? Because He's mad at me, or because I'm unworthy of anything He's given me??????<BR/><BR/>Do you know why the punishment for sin is so great. Why a place called hell that's so terrible....Why God HATES sin, and those who commit iniquity. Because of love. You see, as The Shack displays quite clearly, if you allow God to show it to you is that God is three persons, but the same God. They are in complete and total unity. In that unity there is love. Father loves the Son, Son loves the Father, Spirit loves the Father, Son loves the Spirit, etc.... It's perfect....And so, God is Love. So what is so terrible about sin? It destroys love, so God hates it. If God IS love, He must hate that which contradicts love. Independence, contradicts love. Love says, "I am looking out for the best thing possible for you. I'm looking out for your good and not my own, but I know that you're doing the same for me, so I don't have to worry about looking out for myself, I'll watch over you, you watch over me....Love" Love is all about giving, not receiving.<BR/><BR/>Independence is all about receiving and not giving. <BR/><BR/>Love is the only reason that complete and total unity is possible. Jesus prayed, "Father make them one just as you and I are one." Then He told the disciples to love one another. True loves does not divide, it unifies. <BR/><BR/>But, for those who are so wrapped up in "good theology" I will say this, I agree with you 100%, love is not what most of the "church" views it as, as a means to say, "Make me feel good or you don't love me..." <BR/><BR/>I've completely lost my train of thought. I've rambled on and on. So many words. I just pray that God's will be done and He reveals His point to someone who reads this. <BR/>Don't look at this comment and find fault with it because it's too long or it jumps around from place to place. Instead see what God wants to show you....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474625377876976766.post-36721827383775758192008-09-09T17:53:00.000-05:002008-09-09T17:53:00.000-05:00You should review "The God's Honest Truth" by Dari...You should review "The God's Honest Truth" by Darin Hufford.

There are so many points in scripture I could point you to. Read Revelation 22:18,19. We cannot decide who we want God to be in order to suit us. GOD IS WHO HE IS! We either accept Who God is or we don't. Decide this day, Whom will you serve? But do not dare even begin to compare this book to the Holy Bible! We are each accountable for each Word we speak.<BR/><BR/>This book is purely for entertainment purposes only.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
