If you have read the book The Shack (or are thinking about it)

The blog is a simple one... "don't." I haven't read a fiction book probably since high school. For the longest time the thought of reading was about as appealing as vomiting. Then I went back to college and that's all I did was read, but not fiction. Now in the ministry I read more than I ever have before, but not fiction. So, I'm going away for a few days with the family and decided that I would read something just for the pleasure of reading, I was going to read a fiction book.
I had heard so much about the book The Shack, for a while it seemed like everyone had read it and it was on the top of every ones must read list, it seemed it set up residency on the USA top 10 list, so I thought, "boy this must be some book, I will read it, everyone is just raving about how it has shaped them and opened their eyes to a whole new dimension about understanding God." Who could resist such reviews? So that settled it, I took the book with me and set out reading it the first chance I got. At first it was captivating ( I love a good mystery) but then it got theological and that's where the "wheels fell off."
The shack is a theological catastrophe trying to disguise itself as a book of fiction. The book completely destroys the God of the bible in favor of a god of his own making, one that is much more...palatable to the human taste bud.
I could go into  great detail about all the criticisms I have against the book but someone else who is way more clear and articulate has already done this so I will just leave a link to it, but first let me tell you a little about him. His name is Tim Challies and he is web designer by trade but has in the last few years grown very popular in the Christian blogging world. A reformed Christian with which we would affirm theological similarities, in other words...trustworthy. His website is www.challies.com and you can go there and read all kinds of great stuff but I want you to go to  this link regarding The Shack and see what a great job he does handling it. http://www.challies.com/book-reviews/a-review-of-the-shack-download-it-here
