Very good read, if you liked Pilgrim's Progress, it's a similar allegory. Although it was purely fiction, it does an excellent job explaining the Trinity, how we see God, and what is expected of us. Mr. Young's explanation of God's love is AMAZING! The portion he wrote about fears and bondage spoke to me so clearly, I fought back tears, this is what it says: "The person who lives by their fears will not find freedom in my love. I am not talking about rational fears regarding legitimate dangers, but imagined fears, and especially the projection of those into the future. To the degree that those fears have a place in your life, you neither believe I am good nor know deep in your heart that I love you. You sing about it, you talk about it, but you don't know it." What an awesome book! Thank you, Mr. Young, for sharing this with the world. Una excursión familiar se transforma en tragedia cuando Missy, la hija pequeña de Mack, desaparece. Ante la evidencia del asesinato de la niña, Mack y su familia arrastran un dolor que no pueden superar. Su padre considera una injusticia que Dios haya permitido tanto sufrimiento y lo enjuicia. Transcurridos cuatro años, Mack recibe una extraña carta, al parecer procedente de Dios, donde lo invita a reunirse con él en La Cabaña, lo cual lo lleva a sufrir una serie de cambios que lo volverán diferente con respecto a su percepción de Dios. I cried three times. Sometimes it was really hard to read, and sometimes it was really good. Spending the weekend with Jesus and God was awesome. The writing was not always great but was able to create emotional tension when it was needed. This book is wonderful. I am going to be listening to this one and reading this one again and again. There was a moment in chapter Choices of the Heart when I worried the ending was going to be a copout, but it wasn't. There is so much I had to think about while reading this book. It is wonderful.
Young's too-weird-for-the-pulpit thoughts about how Adam's rib and the female uterus form a "circle of relationship" have the appeal of knobby heirloom-produce in a world where much religion arrives vacuum-packed. His theories—how to believe in Adam while supporting particle-physics research; why the Lord is OK with your preference for lewd funk more than staid church music—accomplish what mainstream faiths tend to fail at: connecting recondite doctrine to the tastes, rhythms, and mores of modern life. ... And though the novel, as a novel, is a sinner's distance from perfection, it's an eloquent reminder that, for those who give some faith and effort to the writing craft, there is, even today, the chance to touch and heal enough strangers to work a little miracle. Would I recommend this book? No, I would not. It is full of theological problems as well as an irreverent and casual attitude toward God. Yes, there are nice things in it and people might even be helped by the book. But so what? There are some nice things in Mormonism, too. Should we encourage people to read the Book of Mormon because Mormonism might help someone feel better? Not at all. Sadly, experience has shown me that most Christians aren't interested in biblical fidelity. No, I'm not talking about biblical nit-picking. I'm talking about fidelity to the revealed word of God to the point where we don't contradict what is plainly stated in scripture! We Christians should regard the word of God as the final authority on all things, and any supposed accounts of actual occurrences should be compared to scripture, not our feelings, wants, and desires. In the case of The Shack, the book falls woefully short of scriptural truth in many important areas and has the strong ability to mislead people regarding God's nature, work, and plan for us. Again, I do not recommend it. Focusing on just three of the subjects William Young discusses in The Shack, we’ve seen that errors abound. He presents a false view of God and one that may well be described as heretical. He downplays the importance and uniqueness of the Bible, subjugating it or making it equal to other forms of subjective revelation. He misrepresents redemption and salvation, opening the door to the possibility of salvation outside of the completed work of Jesus Christ on the cross. We are left with an unbiblical understanding of the persons and nature of God and of His work in this world.
Mackenzie Allen Phillips' youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later in the midst of his Great Sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on a wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change Mack's world forever. In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant, "The Shack" wrestles with the timeless question, "Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?" The answers Mack gets will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as it did him. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
