The Shack

This is a quick and intriguing book. The book starts off with a family on a familiar vacation at a location they are used to visiting, While thoroughly relaxed everything turns to terror in a flash when a father saves his son in a river and his daughter is abducted while coloring in a coloring book book and no one saw it happen. Months go by before the authorizes discover her clothing in the shack she had on that day he went missing. Mack, the main character, a father constantly blames himself for the loss and at times can't understand why a loving God would allow such a tragedy to occur to the him and his family he loves so much.

If you have e4ver become disenchanted with the church and the way God or the Holy Trinity is taught today, this book is for you. If perhaps, the twelve disciples could have spoken as simply as the words of this book, maybe Christians would have not been prosecuted for so long. To give you an idea: Jesus is being called Jesus because he is man and God combined, he is known in the book as Jesus. The Holy Godhead in heaven is called Papa and portrayed as a jolly, overweight, encouraging, happy and an Afro-American woman and the Holy Spirit's name is Sarayu which is a far Eastern Asian name. Together, ( Trinity) and with Mack's ethereal concepts of learned religious concepts the book evolves into an explanation on all levels.

I would like to give this book to everyone I love but it's a curiosity they must seek. I really enjoyed this book!
