All the time I reaad it, I kept thinking it needs a study to go along with it. I finally decided God was urging me to write a study which I did. If anyone would like it, email me at prayerdigm.bookstudy@yahoo.com. I would be glad to send you the study. You are welcome to use it and copy it for others.

The revelation knowledge that I experienced was spirit quickening, as well as, enlightening. If you are grounded and rooted in the word, then you should have no problem with this book, because it is just fiction. If you know the truth, then the truth shall keep you free of all deception. Also, if you truly know G-d, this book should not distort your view of Him. The author never said that this was a replacement to the Bible. It is a Fiction novel, not non-fiction. Additionally, the author never stated that this book was the core of Christianity or any other religion. I found compassion, brokeness, forgiveness, love, grace, and mercy to abound in this novel. I believe that we all need something or someone to challenge us, during our spiritual walk, and draw us closer to Him. The Shack will prompt you to experience an encounter with the “true” living G-d and cry out to Papa. Shalom! If you are looking for theology in a fiction novel, this book is not for you.

The main character, "Mack", is in the midst of great loss and heartache and is struggling with believing that God is good. In the book, God is a large black woman named "Papa". Jesus is Jesus. Sarayu is the Holy Spirit and Sophia is wisdom. There is much thought provoking conversation between all the characters. At one point Mack asks God to forgive him. God's response, " . . . did that a long time ago. If you don't believe me, ask Jesus. He was there." Another good quote from Papa on the same page, "My love is a lot bigger than your stupidity."

I thought it had some refreshing ideas if a person doesn't get hung up on the forms of God. I think that’s my book, isn’t it???
