I like the way God shows up...challenged my North American mindset, kept me thinking about heaven and the joy of it. I liked the intimate portrayal of God working in this man's life.<BR/><BR/>I don't like the suggesting children are in heaven...and would ask the question is immaturity of an eternity what God would want?<BR/><BR/>I have recommended the book for many reasons and would suggest a look at Professor John Stackhouse's comments here: http://stackblog.wordpress.com/2008/06/07/the-shack-3-some-celebrations/Fred and Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16756984054556329497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19211014.post-5857450683726632322008-08-12T18:10:00.000-04:002008-08-12T18:10:00.000-04:00i really didn't enjoy the book at all ...............i really didn't enjoy the book at all ...............supersimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13790586257042351885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19211014.post-42759501856737592342008-08-12T15:44:00.000-04:002008-08-12T15:44:00.000-04:00I read The Shack and I think that it could be wort...I read The Shack and I think that it could be worth reading even if it isn't accurate.Clairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07769348919608645446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19211014.post-80405653969584619052008-08-12T13:14:00.000-04:002008-08-12T13:14:00.000-04:00Glenn,I'm glad you stopped by my site.

I'm heading out to buy some of your music and possibly give some away in my next contest. <BR/><BR/>By the way, I enjoyed The Shack. The author never claimed it was truth... it is fiction. I have a family member who was dealing with unforgiveness that claims it changed her life. I know some people have issues with the way God is portrayed in the book.<BR/><BR/> My thoughts are that we shouldn't limit God. He can reveal Himself any way He chooses. I hope you will read the book and decide for yourself what you think. <BR/><BR/>I'd love to see you guys in concert if you come to the Atlanta area!Amy Wyatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09168059738036285803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19211014.post-82173043522857442152008-08-12T10:22:00.000-04:002008-08-12T10:22:00.000-04:00Glenn,I usually recommend the book to two kinds of...Glenn,<BR/>I usually recommend the book to two kinds of people. People who are in pain and are looking for God and people who long for goodness, love, and beauty (often the same person). I recommend the book not because it has all the theological ducks in a row, but because it is the hearfelt response of the author to their experience with God in the midst of pain and loss. I think your band and that author might have at least this one thing in common! Give it a shot. We're looking forward to having the author visit us in September, we'll have a lot to talk about. Cheers, keep up the good work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
