Book Review of The Shack

The Shack

Helpful Score: 4


One of very few books that I just couldn't finish. When I got to the part where Mack goes to the shack and the three characters of the holy Trinity greet him; I couldn't get over how bizarre it was. I really couldn't care less what race/ethnicity he picked for each of the characters, because I believe that God made all of us in his image; BUT these particular characters seemed very over-the-top. Why was the Holy Spirit even visible? Then he goes outside to look at the stars with Jesus, and Jesus isn't talking, he just has this goofy grin on his face. Would Jesus really have nothing to say? No comfort to give this man? I put the book down and never picked it up again. I think the author may have meant well, I just couldn't do anything with this book.
