Wow! Just wow! It was one of the best books I have ever, ever read. I bawled through out the book! Just was wondering if anyone read it and wandered what you thought of it!

Awesome book. The guy who wrote it is doing a speech at a local church here in my town. I think I am going to go see him.

Just be warned, if you are a Bible Believing Christian, check it with the Bible, it has a lot of non Biblical teaching in it.

My SIL read it just recently. She thought there was some good stuff in it, but overall she didn't like it very much.

I started it and then put it down, but I want to pick it back up. Everyone in my family really liked it because it made them think about things.

I've never heard of it, but you've got me in terested. I'll have to check the library. I started Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen, I just can't get into it. DD#2 is on the 4th Twilight book.

Yes, great book! I don't agree with everything, but it helped me to understand the trinity better.

I read it. It was a tough read but I really enjoyed it.
Be prepare to cry though, it is a tearjerker.

I have been "at the shack" for about a month...or two. My husband stole it from me to read when he went out of town and now I don't know where it is. But it's been great so far. It gives you so much to think about. It is totally a must read, even for people who don't read much. And it's not hard to read either.

It's written by William P. Young, and even if you're not a christian, its a good book. I really recommend it, though it will make you cry from beginning to end. If you want to sample the book, click here. Enjoy! :)

I've read it and it was awesome! The other people I know who have read it agrees! It's not a big book and is worth the time.

I guess I do not understand why people say that it does not follow the Bible because it is a fictional book. It is not written as a Bible. My dd piano teacher made the same statement...and I could not understand that statement.


I do want to say that this book made me understand a bit better just how much God loves me....which is something I struggle daily.



I loved the book sooo much.

My colleague mentioned it to me just 2 days ago. What a hard topic to deal with. Sound interesting but heart-wrenching for sure.
