false 6351036 1 The Shack has touched millions of readers with its portrayal of a compassionate God in the face of great evil. Many have identified with the main character's Great Sadness, the terrible burden of grief that often accompanies and follows a deep loss, for the Great Sadness is part of the human condition. And it compels us to ask, Where is God? Who is God? <P>Roger Olson, who has faced his own Great Sadness, finds a good deal of comfort in this much beloved, story as have so many others. Some may ask, however, Is God really like that? Is that really how God responds to evil? Can God be trusted? <P>Olson also views The Shack with a theologian's eye and finds much sound truth. He delves into many of the significant issues raised by the book such as forgiving those who have done us great evil, how God acts in the world, how God is three persons in one and what difference this makes to us. While he offers his own criticisms of the book, he largely finds the truth about God in The Shack. 6537606 1 2 2009 Finding God in the Shack: Seeking Truth in a Story of Evil and Redemption total:11|5:1|4:0|3:1|2:0|1:1| 11 42 20 6 5 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Nov 18 13:37:04 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 13:37:28 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue May 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 19 06:16:42 -0700 2009 Thu May 28 18:27:08 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu May 14 08:40:35 -0700 2009 Thu May 14 08:42:00 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Tue Nov 17 07:44:12 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 17 07:45:42 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Thu May 28 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon May 25 06:27:21 -0700 2009 Thu May 28 13:39:33 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jun 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 04 18:55:10 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 04 18:56:30 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 14 20:15:18 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 20:15:18 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 27 11:25:40 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 11:25:40 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 17 06:40:38 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 17 06:40:38 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Oct 07 15:42:35 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 07 15:42:40 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 10 20:09:19 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 20:09:19 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Jul 29 07:37:53 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 29 07:38:54 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jul 15 22:24:38 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 15 22:24:38 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Jul 16 16:32:45 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 30 18:36:40 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 16:32:45 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jun 27 17:53:44 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 27 17:53:44 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 26 15:02:30 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 26 15:02:30 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jun 08 21:44:38 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 08 21:44:44 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Jun 03 16:08:37 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 03 16:08:37 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 02 16:26:09 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 02 16:26:09 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Apr 17 15:55:57 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 26 22:59:36 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6351036
