Loved it. A different way of looking at life and beliefs
I have read it once and am going to read it again. Very good book.
This is a very inspirational book with faith viewed from a different angle. You go through many emotions while reading this poinient story of a father’s love for his daughter through a loss.
I loved The Shack! It opened my eyes in a couple of areas, and I was drawn into his story.
very interesting but hard to follow sometimes
Thought-provoking.
Fabulous book that will “speak” to every reader!!!
As fiction not theology I enjoyed The Shack and was comforted while reading it because I had lost a daughter. Very well written, lots of word pictures.
Interesting take. Has started many conversations.
Liked the book although completely fictional. No basis in Christianity. Feel good story.
Absolutely
LOVED this book. Awesome way to tell God’s story.
Great spiritual book. Enjoyed so much!
One of my all time favorites
Certainly make you think about life, death and how we react to things in between.
It was an original and captivating look into the Trinity (God is three-in-one). The characters were true to the Bible and mainline theology and their interaction with the main character were inspirational and made me want to visit this holy place.
I found this to be a fascinating story from Wm. Paul Young. It is an emotional story and details how he came to know and believe in a loving God. After reading this I read “The Shack Revisited” by C. Baxter Kruger who explains the theology behind “The Shack”.
