The Shack by Wm. Paul Young
2.0
Initially I thought I was going to really enjoy this book, I'd heard good reviews and the initial couple of chapters kept me interested, but as I headed towards the middle I found myself getting irritated, bored and wanting to throw the book at a wall yelling "oh what a load of stuff and nonsense."
To me it felt a lot like a believer (of God) making excuses as to why bad things happen so that believing in him was easier or made more sense.
It's certainly helped me understand certain Christian friends of mine better and I respect them a lot more for that understanding. I can completely respect and understand the loving, forgiving side to this book, it's just a shame that that isn't the majority of it.
This is certainly a book to make you think, so try it and see!
