 Intriging March 19, 2010
E. Allen (Liberal, KS)
After reading The Shack, I certainly had alot to think about. This book gives the reader another view on forgiving one self for past mistakes, and forgiving other. The book drew me in from the very beginning, I even read the preface , which I rarely do, and I glad I did, because I would have missed some very important points of the book. I enjoyed it so much I purchased several other copies for family and friends to read.
 Restoration/transformation through tragedy March 19, 2010
V. Vital
I received this book as a Christmas gift in 2008. The guy who gave it to me was moved deeply by it. It sat on my bookshelf for quite a while until I picked it up. It took me a while to do so because I thought it would be just an ordinary fictionalized account of a christian guy's struggle with tragedy. While it was just that, the writer does a good job conveying the message that God truly does work in "mysterious ways." Is that a convenient way to deal with tragedy and to seek false comfort? Maybe, maybe not. But what's for sure is that faith in a higher power surely provides a perspective that helps ease the pains of life. Why did the daughter have to die, and so tragically?? Why does anyone have to die? At the end of our questions, we find God in whom/which we can place our questions and look to for hope and strength. That's what this book is about. Finding hope and transformation/restoration through tragedy.
Making You Think Outside The Box March 19, 2010
K. Davis (Gainesville, Fl USA)
This is such a well written and thought provoking novel. I enjoyed every second of it and it made me think long and hard about God and what kind of man made rituals and concepts are just installed in us while growing up. I think everyone should read this book once.
Insightful March 18, 2010

This book is amazing! So insightful...really makes you think. Although some of the chapters, events, statements may not totally agree with your religious doctrines, the goal of the book is this: GOD IS LOVE. What better message? I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will read it again and again for inspiration, hope and faith. I recommned it to every one I know.
 I cannot believe I actually read this! March 17, 2010
Kasyy (USA)
I am sorry - other reviews are so glowing - but I hated this book - and cannot believe I finished reading it - I should have stopped midway throught when it started to annoy me.
Annoying - is the best thing I can say about it - I thought most of it was drivel - and I was thoroughly and most definitely depressed when i turned the final pages.
