I had heard a lot about the Shack and felt compelled to read it to see if all the hype was true. Although some of the concepts were hard to grapple with at first, it was well worthwhile persisting with it. Not only did it shake my understanding of what true forgiveness is, but it challenged my perception of the nature of God and the complementary work of the trinity. The story and the way it is written may at times make you feel uncomfortable, but it will cause you to stop and reflect and think about the wonder of God and his great mercy and love.
