The Shack

I've read the book. And yes, absolutely, you can really tell that I am skeptical. I find the book interesting, as a fiction, but theologically, it doesn't sound too good for me. I am not limiting God, or His powers or attributes. Perhaps, some could say that I had been conditioned to refuse any kind of mystical encounter with God. Hearing voices? yes. Healing miracles? yes. But God, personifying? It sounds too unbiblical for me. It has been foretold that Christ will return again. But I don't think it would be that. I don't think that Mackenze's pit would cause a sudden return of the Lord. No, I believe that He eyes farther, bigger. Nonetheless, some of the concepts of the author were really touching. As a whole, despite of my skeptical attitude, I've learned and has reinforced one truth in my life because of the book, that life without God is meaningless.

Jesus came to give us life, and have it to the full. And there it was in the book, alive and empowered.
