The Shack by William P. Young is the retelling of one man's experience with God- the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. This experience doesn't hold to "traditional" mindsets about Who God is and our man-made definitions of Him.
When I began to read about the alternative forms in which God manifested Himself, I wasn't sure if I would continue reading the book. The Holy Spirit prompted me to continue reading and give it a chance.
The Shack is not a book on theology; it is one man's personal experience with God, the God Who loves enough to go through fantastical lengths to accomplish healing, forgiveness and restoration.

I haven't read it yet. I just told my MIL about it, she'll read it first then pass it onto me!
Soooo, are you giving it a thumbs up?
Yes, a thumb's up, as in, it it worth the read. Theologically, I don't know that I agree with every "jot and tittle," however, it contains much truth and it is not a book on theology. It is one man's experience with a God Who can do and does anything He desires. Ten years ago I would'nt have understood this book, but since I have had some out of the box experiences with God as well, nothing seems impossible. Remember, this is a man's account of what happened and the Bible says, we only know in part. Hope this rambling helps!
I like that - "out of the box" experiences with God.
Will try to get this book to read, thanks for sharing.
