Saw The Shack yesterday. Excellent film, very true to the book, highly recommended. It has a very refreshing message:
- God really loves us and longs for us to share our lives with Him day by day.
- Horrible things are not His doing; there is an evil power at work; but God can bring blessing out of the most tragic events.
- We are wrong to judge others; with God’s help we need to forgive those who wrong us.
- There is a very real life after death, where pain is forgotten, wrongs are forgiven and relationships are healed.
Very interesting, as I could not get along with this book. It wasn’t the theology, it was the way it is written. But I take your points, and am glad as you have had insights into the book, partly because they made me think about it again, and understand how it is that many others appreciate it deeply.
