Have you read THE SHACK???

I am sure that many of you have heard about the book, THE SHACK. Some of you may even own it and have actually flipped through it or just read the whole thing, thinking to yourself that this is the best Christian book I have ever read! It is no secret that this book has stirred much emotion and change in people as they indulge themselves in the pages of this bestseller. However, as I bought the book and read it, as it was recommended by "another Christian," I found it to be quite an eye opener! But not the kind of eye opening experience you may have had with it! As I read the book, I saw line after line of bad theology, misrepresentation, and flat out heresy within the pages of wht I now call "The Shaft!" And here is the thing that gets me...this stuff is being sold in our Christian book stores (which is a whole other blog post) and it is even being used as a Bible study in churches! You know it is quite ironic that we as Christians, who most of the ones I speak with, don't read their Bibles much or "like they should", or even at all...but when a book comes out like THE SHACK, they eat it up and then they allow such material to shape their theology or worse yet they use the book as a way to study and examine the Bible. Shouldn't it be the other way around? Taking the Bible and using it as a spotlight to examine books that we so quickly label as "Christian." But because of some Christians lack of Biblical knowledge and spiritual discernment due to lack of spiritual growth, they just except books like THE SHACK as gospel truth. The people who I have run into who have the read the book and claim to be Christians, stand silent as I examine the book under scripture! They only whimper with the words, "You have to remember that it is only a fiction book!" Are you kidding me! So now just because it is fiction, we as CHristians can accept such garbage? Take a stand people! How many Christians got upset and even boycotted theaters when The Divinci Code came out? Or the Last Temptation of Christ? So we get mad in the name of fiction when someone writes that Jesus had sex with another woman and they had some kids of which the bloodlines still exist. Where were the Bible studies coming along side the fiction of The Divinci Code? Nowhere, if I remember right all the Bible studies that came out at the time of the Divinci Code were to set straight, the fallacies of the book and the movie! So just know, yes I have read the book and no I do not recommend it! I have provided a PDF link below for those of you who are interested in learning more in detail some of the error and bad theology of the book , THE SHACK!
