The Shack

Not 100% theologically sound, but the best of God is reflected. Kind of like the Chosen; not to be viewed as Gospel, but definitely displays the love of Jesus.

I originally got this movie from the library - it is a very insightful, thought provoking, inspirational movie. Liked it so much I bought it!

I first saw this movie years after it was released on Netflix and had me crying. Im not much of a crier but the meaning of the movie is what many of us struggle with, finding and knowing God and finding Him again. We all have our losses and this movie helped me not only to heal after losing my mom but also to find God again. This is a must watch and must have.

IT REMINDS US THAT GOD WILL ALWAYS USE ANYWAYS TO REACH US.

Such a good portrayal of how our relationship should be with the God the father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

This was based upon a novel written in pain and hope concerning the problem of evil and the need to maintain a relationship with God. It is Protestant--with the rather vague, confused theology--but it hit the larger issues quite well (which is also normal). It portrayed Jesus as stating that he is not religious and not Christian: but if you even begin to ask who Jesus is...sorry but thats religion and thats Christian...larger than we can imagine for sure, but we cannot consign Christianity to mere vagueness. The second lack of clarity concerned that people really can go to hell according to Christ Himself. The film was not explicitly universalist, but it also was not explicit that serious criminals should be arrested and need to repent before their deaths.

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.

If you have seen Him, then you should see this. If you want to see Him, you should see this. If you are not sure if you believe in Him, you should see this.

A new, more personal way of understanding God and how he (or quite possibly she) is involved with our lives. Unfortunately, evil exists, it is not Gods fault that it is there. But if we allow God into our lives, he/she can help us deal with it and heal from it.

If you liked the book, youll love the movie!
