The popularity of this book - and its 5 star rating - is yet another testament to the dumbing down of the American public. Don't waste your time or money - there are no insights here.
Just finished reading it! September 6, 2008

WOW! Very powerful story! I couldn't put it down!
It was suggested to me by a friend who knows I don't read these types of books. (meaning spiritual)
Totally engulfing! It actually helped me to look at my higher power in a whole new way... Looking forward to a new relationship with him!
fiction; totally and bad theology!!! September 6, 2008

After seeing the huge postive response to this so-called Christian book, I wanted to read for myself why others thought it so impressive. In this age of weak, pablum theology, it is no wonder that it appeals. Humanity doesn't think anymore, it just feels. This is a feel-good book. And very liberal-minded by the way. I was appalled at the numerous crude and crass referneces to biological "humor" in this book, aka Adam Sadler or Dumb and Dumber vulgarity. Totally inappropriate for a Christian work of fiction or any Christian publication. Not to mention the fact that at least two of these "bathroom humor jokes" were spoken from the "mouth of God". Hideous! God isn't some vulgar good ole' boy redneck! Resounds of the stupid song of a number of years back that was so popular, "What If God Was One of Us?" He ISN'T one of us!! He came to earth in the form of Jesus Christ to redeem us from being "one of us", from being a pig wallowing in the mire!
This book degrades the very character and nature of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It brings God down rather than raising pathetic, disgusting humanity up! He didn't come down to "hang out with us" and be "one of the guys/gals".
Honestly, those of you that call yourselves Christian and thought this was a good book better reread your Bibles! God is not a black woman (and NO, I am NOT prejudice. Some of my closest friends are black!!!Ooops, let's be politically correct...African-American! Even the black man on the RNC the other night blasted that garbage!) He is not Aunt Jemima, Oprah Winfrey and Maya Angelo all rolled together cooking "suppa" for y'all. This book reeks of New Age, Course In Miracles retching mindset. So far from God it isn't remotely funny! Was it on Oprah's booklist? I wouldn't doubt that for a minute.
I'm actually glad I have read the book. Helps me keep a finger on the pulse of the heresies floating around in the church.
Unforgettable! September 6, 2008

"The Shack" is an amazing work of fiction. It was recomended by my Pastor but soon became much more than "an assignment" Even being very aware that it IS fiction, this book gave me an insight into the Biblical Trinity that I have never before felt.I have since purchased a number of copies to give to friends (who have purchased more to pass on) and have myself re=read the book multiple times. I find something new each time. it is truly a blessing in my life. Thank you, William Young.
