The Shack. Do not buy this book from Mikewholesaledeals. Me, along with five other people, have never received their books and no one responds from the company. So, i wouldn't know how the book is because i haven't read it still.

This book gives the reader an amazing look at God and the relationship He wants to have with each of us. Buy extras because you'll want to share this book with everyone you know.

This book is amazing! As i read it, I realize that God talks to us and sends us messages through many people (why i think the author chose to have God be an african american lady). No God wont tap us on the shoulder or have a bush burn in front of us, but he will put certain people in our lives, in our day, etc to talk to us on his behalf. I felt like God was in my living room as i read this book, i couldnt put it down, i kept thinking, wow i wish i could have dinner with God. But the book brings home the point that we CAN have God as intimitaly as Mack did, we must open up to that relationship (it isnt forced on us, its our choice the book reminds us). I felt that when God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit were talking to mack and asking questions, i was being asked those questions. Divine by karen kingsbury was my all time favorite book, now The Shack is right there with it.

This book was really amazing! There were some parts that were hard for me to grasp, but overall it was so awesome at showing how much God loves you! I have had problems understanding the extent of God's love and this book will help you see the infinite measure of His love. We are all so precious to Him and I'm finally starting to see that. The Devil is a liar and this book really helps you see God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit in a whole new way! I strongly suggest that everyone read this book!

In The Shack, a father is dealing with the tragic--and unresolved--death of his daughter and comes face-to-face (literally) with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit in a non-traditional way. He has the opportunity to question God for the terrible pain he is experiencing. The author's detailed account of the character's encounter is comforting, gentle, loving and refreshing. The book is a welcoming reminder for us individuals, parents, children, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, friends, neighbors, teachers, and even strangers. As stated in the book, life is "...about relationship and simply sharing life...being open and available to others around us."
The author personalizes God in a way that strips away conventional thought and encourages a deeper faith in a shared relationship with God--who is inherently good and loving without expectations. You are never alone. You are loved. Life is a journey shared with God. You are wonderful beyond imagination. God communicates with us in many ways.
The book is a quick read and is well written. It tackles many topics, including forgiveness, service to one another, faith and understanding of God. The discussion on forgiveness was particularly enlightening. There are parts of the book that were hard to me to swallow--like why bad things such as this can happen and why God didn't prevent it, but overall it is a rewarding and spiritual experience. And, there is closure and resolve at the end. Amen.
