Book Review of The Shack

The Shack
nitesea avatar reviewed For anyone who's ever been mad at God or just didn't understand.... on


I recommend this book to anyone who is trying to get through a tragedy in their life or maybe just doesn't understand why bad things happen. If you can get past the weird stuff like God showing up as a big black woman who calls herself Papa or Jesus saying stuff like, "true that", you can glean some of amazing wisdom and understanding from it.

One of the most helpful concepts in the book was the explanation of good and evil. Good is the only thing that acually exists. Just as light exists. Darkness is the result of the absence of light as is evil the absence of good.

Another really amazing concept was when God (Papa) told Mack that just because he works incredible good out of unspeakable tragedies doesn't mean he orchestrates the tragedy.

This book is a bit quirky but in a forgivable sort of way and definitely worth the read!
