If you haven’t read the book, let me catch you up with a quick synopsis (beware: spoilers ahead).
I just couldn’t find much in the book that I would consider heretical. It is a quite heartwarming and satisfying work of fiction.Īs a work of heresy, however, I was sorely disappointed.
As a novel, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the story quickly pulled me in and kept me turning pages. I quickly devoured it keeping an eye out for any ‘heretical’ teachings. Some embraced the story as a creative depiction of how God works in our lives, while others dismissed it as “heresy”.Īll of the debate piqued my interest, so I was very excited when I received the book as a Christmas present. Everyone, it seemed, had a strong opinion to offer about the book. Millions have discovered it already - now it's your turn.When the novel, The Shack, was released by author William Paul Young it created quite a controversy. This is the kind of book you'll want to tell everyone about. THE SHACK wrestles with the timeless question, 'Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?' Mack's experiences when he faces up to his darkest nightmares will astound you, and perhaps transform you as much as it did him. What he finds there will change his life forever.
Against his better judgement Mack arrives at the shack on a wintry afternoon. Four years later, still trapped in his great sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack. Mack's youngest daughter, Missy, was 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.
With 18 million copies sold worldwide, THE SHACK is an international bestseller that explores life's toughest questions through the gripping story of one man's struggle to find answers to his suffering.
