Well, apparently I'm a little behind. I recently read The Shack by William P. Young. It made such an impact that I was curious what others had to say about it and found the article posted above dated 5/29/2008.
I would vehemently disagree with those criticizing this book. I think God revealed himself to Mack, the main character in the book, the only way Mack would be able to receive Him. I thought it was just brilliant.
It is a must read for anyone, very interesting and thought provoking.
I agree with this endorsement...
quote:"When the imagination of a writer and the passion of a theologian cross-fertilize the result is a novel on the order of The Shack. This book has the potential to do for our generation what John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress did for his. It’s that good!"
