Simone Jackson asked this question about The Shack:

Is this book worth the read?? what is this about exactly? from what i heard, some guy goes to a shack away from the world and finds god??

It does have a very different spin. I don't want to give it away totally BUT just know that if you have traditional notions of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit this book will challenge those. But, personally, I didn't see any other way for them to present themselves given the history of the main character, Mackenzie. Like Sandra said, he finds a lot more than God. In coming back to his relationship with God he finds himself and peace. This is a wonderful book for everyone to read. BUT, more importantly if you've struggled with a tragedy and questioned "why did God let this happen?", then this book will really bring some light to you. It's a MUST read. (less)
