Captivated from start to finish. Excellent narration. Couldn't stop listening until it finished. Great for both personal reflection and relational discussion between spouse, family and close friends.

This is the fictional book that changed my life and helped me to heal and discover the Triune God of Father, Jesus and Spirit. I always viewed them as different from each other, however The Shack allowed me to grasp that Papa was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, because we are his children.

I loved this book, it was beautifully written in a way that challenges common thought with regard to God. It seems bring about a sort of clarity in understanding God while trying to contextualise Him in a way that bypasses the confusion that can accompany "religion"
