So You Don't Want to Go to Church Anymore He Loves Me! Learning to Live In the Father's Affection Pagan Christianity?: Exploring the Roots of Our Church Practices Divine Nobodies: Shedding Religion to Find God (and the unlikely people who help you) Authentic Relationships: Discover the Lost Art of "One Anothering" Editorial Review: Product Description: Mackenzie Allen Philips' youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later in the midst of his Great Sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on a wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change Mack's world forever. In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant "The Shack" wrestles with the timeless question, "Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?" The answers Mack gets will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as it did him. You'll want everyone you know to read this book! by: William P.

 Rating:  - A thoughtful question provokerReaders of this book will most likely be moved emotionally and ask themselves the unanserable as will readers of Michelle CozzensIt's Not Your Mother's Bridge Club Rating:  - Three stars because it depends...If you are a person who would be shocked at the notion that God the Father could represent "himself" as a big black woman, this book may be instructive and inspiring--or offensive--to you. I can see why many who have grown up in religious environments that emphasize narrow judgment and tribalism over a more loving/respectful stance toward all creation might either love or hate this book. If, on the other hand, you are a person who already accepts God as all-wise, all-knowing, omnipotent, omnipresent, and infinite; who does not have the pride of your typical hellfire-damnation preacher ...

I love how the author brings out the relationship between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and how they long to touch our lives with their healing power. His illustration of the Father always being what we need was overwhelming. I love this book and have purchased several to pass on to others, I want everyone to read 'The Shack'. PJMax Rating: - A book offering hope of love and libertyThis book is the embodiment of all that I believe God has been offering me for many years now, but which I've been too scared to believe in. The interactions between Mack, Papa, Jesus and Sarayu display a way of 'doing church' with which most of us are unaccustomed. To live the relationship style they are offering is to loose the bonds which have held the church for so long - namely, the bonds of performance and formulas as well as the sense of duty; the alternatives to these could bring us a fulness of life many of us have given up hoping to find. Rating:  - A Book for New Agers!I was shocked to find that the author changed the names and sexes of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It was nice fiction but found it blasphemous and also misleading.
