    <body><![CDATA[Having had such high hopes for this book, I was sadly disappointed about its content, being for the most part simply unbiblical. Yes, there were poignant scenes and emotional moments that moved me to tears- but that does not tip the scales against all of the errors slipped in and truths that were twisted. Being protective especially of new Christians, I strongly caution anyone about reading it. This book should be read with much discernment.<br/><br/>Please read the Bible and learn about the Way, the Truth, and the Life! There is nothing good about this book that the Lord can't teach you without it.<br/><br/>I'd like to write a more thorough review when I have time. For now, here is a good one to read:<br/><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.challies.com/archives/book-reviews/the-shack-by-william-p-young.php" title="http://www.challies.com/archives/book-reviews/the-shack-by-william-p-young.php">http://www.challies.com/archives/book-re...</a><br/><br/>9-1-08 Update:<br/>Friends, I still do not recommend this book.
