Porém não poderia deixar de comentar o quanto foi emocionante chegar ao final da leitura desse livro. A princípio achei meio monotono e confusso, cheio de fantasias, só passei a me interessar qnd me dei conta q o personagem (Mack) poderia estar morto e passando por uma experiência incrível.Quis então chegar logo ao final. A canção de Missy é algo de + emocionante e comovente. Li duas vezes pois não podia me conter em lágrimas, senti profundamenete q poderia ser verdade, toda a quela história. Lamento muito a perda de Mack, até pq tenho duas filhas, e têmo a todo tempo algum mau ocorrerem com elas. Fico Feliz por ele ter perdoado o autor do crime,ele foi forte como homem. Peço à Deus nunca me colocar nessa provação, para eu ter a certeza de sua existência. Parabéns ao autor do Livro por ter consseguido expressar em palavras tamanhã experiência e misericórdia Divina. Amei o Livro e o recomendarei p todos q estiverem precisando se confortarei por fatos desoladores. Carinhosamente.

I have been asked to moderate a discussion of THE SHACK this summer in PA and was curious to know if there is a discussion guide in print or online? Our Bible Study Ladies have our tickets for April 25 Meeting in Longwood, FL. We are excited to listen and to learn what the Spirit will say to us that day.

I work with people who have a lot of emotional pain and I will share this book with some of my clients. It brings peace into my heart to see life in another way that brings better understanding of personal feelings. I hope to share with others. Thanks again.

I too like Jacques Ellul but have to read his ideas over and over to get the meaning--there are so many layers to his writing. Have you ever read Michael O'Brien's novels? He's a Catholic Canadian who writes about spiritual truths in a deep and beautiful way. I am rereading Father Elijah for the third time. I want to thank you for writing and publishing The Shack. The ideas in your book keep coming back to me when I am teaching a class ( with a group of adults; currently studying Space for God by Don Postema) or discipling a young woman who is searching for God's path or sitting around talking with my husband about life issues and ministry. I've read The Shack through three times completely with shorter passages reread ten or twenty times. Your book is a gift to the Body of Christ and to me personally. Thanks! Dear Paul

I can't wait to get it back to read it again....this time slower and to note some things that I love. We are going to have a discussion about it and I am the moderator. It is my favorite book right now and I shall read it again and again. Thank you for the thoughts you have provoked. God Bless.

All I can say that it is a MIRACLE that I am here and in this current state of mind! God does love us! It is because of the DARK that we can appreciate and come into the LIGHT. Ever since I was 4, when I experienced a loss of a friend due to religious prejudice, I have been at odds with God. It hasn't been until recently, when a friend gave me this book, did I start to reunite with God and form a stronger bond. It got me REALLY thinking for the first time and questioning my life, God, love, suffering, strength.....LIFE! God Bless and read this book!
