The Shack

I was suggested to read this book. I started to read the first four chapters and I had to put it down. I couldnt go any further. The anguish was too great for me. After a couple of days I picked it up again and paragraph by paragraph stepped through the anguish the father was experiencing. On his journey he makes a decision that puts him in touch with people who really changes his life and feeling of so much anger, hatred and getting even with the cause of the recent past. The book puts word pictures in your mind which makes the book much more understanding than the movie. The descriptions of the surroundings actions of what is going on with the people he met, makes him confused at first. All of this is going to come together later on. One is the doing the cooking at the Shack, one is working in a shed, working on a wood project and the other is working in the garden. The garden is a mess but she asks him (the father) to help her with a project she is working on. They finish their work and the soil is ready for a new planting. What are you going to plant here? The father asks. Youll see. One of those books you just cant put down. Even those first few chapters were difficult for me, I am a father too. The love for your children makes you want to do only the best for them. Even when one of your children goes missing, youre not going to stop until you find the answer. A very intriguing and exciting story of people who are struggling with their faith. Ive offered this book to many other people I know, but they said they already read it.

Healing!

This movie is surprisingly relevant to me in many ways. It caused me to question my perspective and take a closer look at my belief system. Inspiring and creative. For anyone who has lost a loved one and questioned God there will be tears of sadness and tears of joy. If you long to live a joyful life and have a deep sadness I pray for God to bring you healing and joy through forgiveness and a nearer walk with Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. The Shack is a story of Gods desire to love and be His children.

I liked the shack. I dont read many novels so when I do try am read the best. With this one, I figured I was taking a few steps down and in terms of literary art I was, but not in thought. So I would suggest a comfortable place and prepare to process a few new thoughts in a reality where you can talk to your creator. What would you want to ask? How does the author think that the creator would answer? But ya got to be willing to go there to get anything from the book. Otherwise, its just another story and what fun would that be.

I was amazed at how this movie made me reflect on my own life. It addresses the realness of God, the son & the holy ghost. It addresses forgiveness and makes you look at how important it is. I cried all the way thru this movie. Have tissues ready.

Its very interesting what we might experence thru life, what might come into our life uninspected

Definitely recommend if you are a spiritual person. Helps you deal with your thoughts and emotions spiritually. Great performance by all actors and actresses. Standout Octavia Spencer. A must see.

Loved it, have tissues with you when you watch it .

It’s always wonderful to watch a movie about God, and this movie was made fabulously well. A beautiful faith journey that the whole family will love. Not many movies depict the Trinity, but The Shack does.

I love watching this movie!
