Book Review of The Shack

The Shack
velvetdreams avatar reviewed on + 8 more book reviews


A refreshingly innocent tale of horrible tragedy, its ripple effects, and a uniquely intimate confrontation that leads to restoration. The author has a way of weaving words together to create lovely and meaningful observations that probably pertain to each of us in one way or another.

A father's worst nightmare happens ... it just happens. Is it his fault? Why? Why do bad things happen if there's a loving God watching over us? What kind of God can let these horrible things happen?

This story of loss and healing contains one man's personal and unique experience as he wrestles with these and other questions. It isn't Gospel, but it is an excellent example of creative Divine communication.
