The revelation knowledge that I experienced was spirit quickening, as well as, enlightening. If you are grounded and rooted in the word, then you should have no problem with this book, because it is just fiction. If you know the truth, then the truth shall keep you free of all deception. Also, if you truly know G-d, this book should not distort your view of Him. The author never said that this was a replacement to the Bible. It is a Fiction novel, not non-fiction. Additionally, the author never stated that this book was the core of Christianity or any other religion. I found compassion, brokeness, forgiveness, love, grace, and mercy to abound in this novel. I believe that we all need something or someone to challenge us, during our spiritual walk, and draw us closer to Him. The Shack will prompt you to experience an encounter with the “true” living G-d and cry out to Papa. Shalom! If you are looking for theology in a fiction novel, this book is not for you.

This book is getting tons of recognition. I caught an interview last week on the CBS morning show. They gave William Young a very short interview. Ann Curry of NBC said during the interview that she was reading it herself. Congratulations William on a job well done.

I've heard of The Shack but have yet to read it simply because of all the controversies. I like your reasoning and I think I will pick up a copy if I run across it. Thanks. Excellent points.
