As my regular readers know I am a book reviewer for B & B Media. Today's blog is a review of a recent read of mine titled Finding God in The Shack by Randal Rauser. Let me begin by saying that I didn't read the red-hot seller The Shack but have heard a lot about it. It's definitely a hot read, or so I've heard. I must admit that what little I had heard about it wasn't interesting to me. In fact, my early impressions were that it was along the same lines as The Secret. A spiritual book loved by the masses and tilted away from Christianity. So when the opportunity came up to read this critical review of The Shack came along I jumped at it.
Finding God in The Shack was a slow, and sometimes, difficult read as one might expect since it was written by a theologian and academic. However, I stayed with it and was very enlightened after completing it. Randy Rauser laid out very clear discussions on the entire book The Shack and also touched on many of the criticisms that have been voiced within the Christian community.
I won't touch on his specifics in this blog as I want ya'll to read it for yourselves. However, I will let you in on my opinion of Finding God in The Shack. If you want to read an intellectually stimulating, unemotional account of The Shack then read Randy's book. You'll be glad you did and you'll be able to have sound discussions about it with non-Christians who are enthralled with The Shack.
Have a blessed day and keep a song in your heart!
