Does anyone know anything about The Shack by William P. Young? If so, what do you think about it?

I've never heard of it. Could you tell us something about it? :]



And you know that, mother, I'd be lying, if I didn't tell you I'm afraid of dying.
I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind

Lauren

"The stars are always there but we miss them in the dirt and clouds. We miss them in the storms. Tell them to remember hope. We have hope."

"But in the ruins there is still a canvas. There is still beauty in your brokenness. The faded scars show healing reminding me that even though I’ve been in dark places, I’ve survived and learned and become stronger".

Are you talking about this book? I haven't read it, however it does look interesting.

(If this is a book, maybe we should move this to Entertainment mods. )

Re: About The Shack - March 4th 2009, 03:35 AM

I read it. I thought parts of it were okay, but some of it was terrible. The part that especially drove me crazy was when Mack's alibi was proclaimed "flawless." He says he was able to lead people to the well-hidden place where his daughter's body was kept because God hung out with him during time that didn't actually pass. How is that an even remotely acceptable alibi, much less a flawless one? I thought some of the arguments about God were interesting, but some of the other ones I've heard so much that the interesting ones lost their credibility. The concept was more interesting than any of the other Christian fiction I've read (which isn't all that much, considering they're usually poorly written attempts to convert the reader), but I wasn't impressed with the writing or lack of logic.

I moved this to Sports and Entertainment.

I have heard of the book, but not read it.
