I've just Finished reading 'The Shack'.

i have not read it. i usually just read fiction. i'll check it ouy. thanks for the tip.

I won the book online in a book give away a few weeks ago. I had heard lots about it. I had my reservations about it. And, since reading over half of it, I feel the same. I did not like the Diety being presented like this person did. God isn't a woman and I think it was wrong to present HIM in that light, and the Holy Spirit isn't a woman, and I rejected that! There are lots of things in that book that just didn't hit me right after reading and studying the Bible. I put the book down in order to read a more believable book. I will finish it, but it might be awhile. Then I will put a review up on my blog.

I have not read it, but most of my family has. My dad even bought about five extra copies to give to people he knows. A couple people in my church have mentioned they read it too. I've heard nothing but good about it, and I really hope even non Christians give it a chance.

I actually think my daughter suggested this as reading for our family.....I haven't read it yet but if she shares her copy I sure will...or I'll put it on my must read list.

I have never read it. I don't recall ever hearing the name of the book before either. I am glad you enjoyed the book. I love it when there is a book I really enjoy reading so much I cannot put it down. Not always a good thing I guess. I once stayed up till 4am reading a book when I had to be at work at 8 am.

I have read the book and like you really enjoyed it, but you need to remember this is a work of fiction and is not accurate with the bible. Many people have taken the wrong meaning from it and taken it much further than the writer every intended it to be taken, as he is a devote Christian. yes it explains many things and lets the reader walk away with a better understanding of the trinity and of acceptance, of questioning god and of Gods love, but you have to take it also for what it is for, it is a work of fiction and not something that should be followed as if it is the bible. I am not trying to put the book down, I loved it, I loved every bit of it and I did get a lot out of it. I just think we should all be aware that while it does help you to understand many things about life and how things work, it is not based on scripture.

The ex bf actually sent me his copy to read a few weeks back and I started to read it but havent picked it up (or the other book he sent actually) since we split up a couple weeks ago....He got it from his mum and he loved it...talked about it every night while he was reading it..I'm not a Christian but he figured I might enjoy it none the less...I'm sure I'll read it at some point...

A friend of mine told me about that book, she also finished reading it. She said it was a really good book that would be a great help for people to understand the heart and mind of God in some ways. I was suppose to borrow it from her but then there were others who borrowed it first, I duno when I will be able to get the book but since I was reminded now, I will ask her again.

I have heard of this book "The Shack" but have not read it. It does sound like it is truly inspirational. I try to stay away from tear jerkers, but who doesn't? I'll have to keep the book in mind though. My fiance and I are just now becoming more religious then I know I've ever been.

I am going to find it, read it too. Could you tell me the author please, it would be easier for me to find the book.

Awesome, Awesome Read... I feel everyone should take the time to read it. It hits so much in each person. My mother passed away this last Feb and I was staying at my sisters home at the time. She asked me if I read and I said yes, and she handed me this book called the Shack.. Then she proceeded to tell me that when she read it, it was one that hit all her emotions before she was finished reading it. After reading it I totally agreed with her, its an awesome read.. I also would recommend and have recommended it to many already. If I had the money I would buy copies and just hand them out to people..

no i have not read it. did you buy it or get at the liabary.it sounds like it would be a good book

Hi Cynthiann, I am not familiar with this book of yours 'The Shack'. May I ask who is the author of this book so I can also look and read also. That makes you not the last one to read it yet. hehehe

yeah..,probably, im done already reading it last night..its awesome!!

Well it is not about being a christian or a religious person is it. I mean I have not read the book yet. And reading what you have said about the story, it sounds very interesting as story. I mean the defination of god is so liquid. Of course religion defines god in some human form but ultimately it the force which allows you to get that inner peace -- that is god. We can name it whatever we want. He can be Christ for some, Allah for some, Trimurti and Prajapati for some. Right. Instead lets in todays world of turmoil say deeper love for god. No names just this one god. one force.
