The Shack

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 dont understand why film critics give this movie bad reviews. It attempts to tackle some very real and difficult spiritual issues. They are not easy subjects.

I loved the story about Mack’s loss and how God taught and showed him the power of forgiveness and the difference it will make in all of our lives. It’s a wonderful book!!

Make sure you have tissues on hand, both women and men! If you dont cry at some point, then I would like to pray for you, because you need some Jesus in your life!

After I read the book 4 or 5 years ago, I hoped that this would someday be made into a movie so that the message of forgiveness, redemption, and His love so deep and awesome could be shared with millions more. (Too few people read a good book or The Good Book anymore.) When I heard the movie had been made, I waited to see it so that I could first let go of a bias I had that made me assume the movie would not do the book justice. Aside from a few details throughout the story, which the book went into more depth to develop and a couple a deviations in the movie compared to the book, the message of this story in both publications was spot-on the same. I only wish the actor that played the Son looked more like how He was described in the book, which was taken from the description given to us in Isaiah 53:2, and not the handsome man that played Him in the movie. I knew the Holy Spirit was going to be a challenging role to fill, given the books description as One more ethereal and not of solid bodily form. However, the movie did well to cast a shimmering light about the actress at times so I give it a pass. As for the one that played God, there isnt an actress alive today that could have filled this role better or aligned more perfectly with how the book described Him. The only major story line piece missing from the movie was when Mack (after his car accident at the end) directed authorities to the cave where they would find the remains of his daughter. Watch the movie. Read the book. You will love them both.

This movie took me through troubles in my life and made me see things again through the eyes of God.

What a beautiful creation of Papa’s heart for His children ❤️ Love the scene in the cave - so much untangled so simply

A big spectrum of emotions can be experiences whille watching the movie. A good movie.

You will see after you watch

For some reason, I believe Hollywood had nothing to do with this movie. 5 stars.
