You have probably heard of The Shack. Or maybe you have been living under a rock. Initially self-published, it spread like wildfire and became a New York Times bestseller.
So, here's the thing: I knew it was about God, but I thought it would be more allegorical, with a deeper God meaning. That's not it. The guy goes to a shack and literally meets God the Father ("Papa"), Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
It also reads like a self-published piece. Not enough editing, stilted dialogue, reactions that don't exactly ring true.
So, it just didn't speak to me. The fact that God is love and loves us is not a big, crazy revelation for me.
But the book has touched a lot of people. I just can't recommend it.
