endearing story & beautifully written

Revisado: 12-06-18

First, be prepared for multiple character's to keep up with. The story is beautiful, and all the characters come together and make perfect sense. However, I found myself in the beginning going back to understand or remember characters prior chapters to recall what they were going through.So starting the book, you find you have the same issue.

open for interpretation of the Trinity

Revisado: 11-26-18

I've read it twice... first time was several years ago, and then decided to listen to the book again & just finished.
Young wrote this fiction as a reflection of his personal great sadness. I feel we can all relate to such seasons of life. I also feel the struggle of going through seasons of sadness or pain can draw you closer to God or can push you away. This story touches on both extremes, ending in the enlightening of the power of Love and forgiveness.
As Young writes the interactions of Mack and his Shack experience with the Trinity, it opens up a vision of a loving God. The story helps a troubled man find his way back to the core beliefs; take religion out of God and see him as Love. A loving God full of mercy and unconditional understanding of his creations.
When Mack uncovers his greatest pains, he is set free. When he forgives those who caused his grief, he gives it to God to deal with. I absolutely love the way he gently shows how patiently God works in us.
I cannot express how much I enjoyed this book as a follower of Jesus. How I relate to his descriptions of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are the same, but have significant roles to guide for a life on Earth.
Bottom line is Love conquers all sorrow and grief.

super dark story

Revisado: 10-27-18

if you like books with descriptive gore, then you'll enjoy this. I knew there was Satan in the story line, but for me it was too much.
the character of Libby was fabulous, and I kept reading just because of her. there were twists I thought I had parts figured out, boy was I wrong.

compelling for the beginning

I couldn't stop listening! I say that about some books, and it was true...However, this book was the most recent I honestly couldn't stop. I would have my headphones on, with my husband annoyed I wouldn't talk to him. lol
The story touched every emotion one possesses. Jewell wrote this in such a way, where you would understand every emotion with the characters.
it's a must to own!

great follow up and I hope for a book 4

Cannie's character is honest, funny, and bold. to hear how her life continued after book 2, but the end of this book makes me really interested in hearing more from JW and her Cannie Shapiro stories.

boy this book spoke to my heart at a time where I NEEDED this message in my life. Jesus is our peace and these two real and honest Christian ladies related to my heart in more ways than I can explain.
