 Nothing Holy here. Just VaHoly, November 17, 2008

Family member gave me this book. I am the only person in my family that stands on the Bible and the Bible alone. The rest use any other source to try and get to their god. It is very sad.
Holy - 1: exalted or worthy of complete devotion as one perfect in goodness and righteousness
Also, set apart, not common, in awe of, etc.
Vain - 2: in an irreverent or blasphemous manner
Also, common, useless, worthless
God is not something that needs to be written about anymore than He already is in the Scripture. God is not lacking nor is the Scripture lacking in explaining to us what God would have us know. We are not to bring God down to our level nor humanize Him. He is not us.
If it is just fiction it is junk to bible believing Christians because it breaks scripture all over the place and simply by using God in such a personal and vain manner.
If it is a Christian self help book it is blasphemy to heresy.
Rom 10:17 So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Plain and simple - Scripture is the Only thing that will bring you to God. Not some guys book about God.
How a Christian can read this book and think that books such as this about the nature of God is in any way Christian really saddens me.
If you want God read His book.
If you want entertainment fine.

had creepy feeling reading this.....didn't finish it November 17, 2008

After reading all of the glowing testimonials on the book, I bought it with the anticipation of feeling all of the emotions reviewers have felt- hope, love, peace, joy, redemption.......etc........ I got to about page 70 or so and had to put it down. I had such a horrible feeling reading about the abduction of this six year old girl whose dress was found drenched in blood- I didn't care what was going to be said in the rest of the book - I needed to stop. Instead of feeling positive feelings, I started worrying abut all of my loved ones, and imagined what it would feel like to be in this situation. Perhaps this is an easy read for some- but for me, I wish I had never picked this book up.

 Wonderful book! November 17, 2008

I loved this book. It was very powerful and if you have questions about God, it is such a great way to look at it. Very comforting when you are struggling or have doubts about life and love. I highly recommend it.
Wonderful Theology November 17, 2008
Rose Collins (Hattiesburg, MS, USA)
I was fairly certain that I wanted this book even before I bought it. We have a "book bunch" in our church who meet each Wednesday evening to discuss various authors & books. We have been on this book, The Shack, for about 6 weeks. I like the idea that God is approachable. The black woman character gives me that idea & feeling. I would rather have had just "God" and not "Jesus" & "Sarayu." I think the author could have gotten his point across without the "Trinity."
As my husband has said, "there is more theology in this book than I got in Seminary.
