After hearing all the buzz this book was causing, I had to pick it up and figure out how I felt about it.
Well. Good gracious. Lol.
If I wasn't crying, I was tossing the book in frustration onto the couch. Reading "The Shack" was like a roller coaster that lasted an entire week! "The Shack" would take my emotions high, and then shoot them right back down. And often times, Young's theology took me for a major loop. I found myself writing in the margins of the book continually, scribbling down verse references to combat his contradictory statements.
There were some wonderful points that Young made, as well. When it comes to grief and tragedy, I feel that "The Shack" offers hope from a very pointed character. Never before have I felt so comforted with answers like I was when he explained the Fractal Theory. For this point alone, I would recommend the book.
Though if I may suggest, keep a hankie and a stress ball handy; for both may be needed!
