While doing a fourth step, I was reading The Shack. It really helped me to find a God of my own understanding that was all about Love. So unlike the God I was taught to believe in. I give the book randomly to people because it is such a blessing to me! Anyone have the same experience?

i just finished reading the shack for the third time. each time i found something new. i believe God is just like Papa. it is wonderful to have a God who is "very fond of me" no matter what. thank you for this wonderful book. i have given about 10 copies away and encourage anyone who will listen to read this wonderful book. Again i thank you
I really enjoyed the book, and think the author did a great job highlighting one of God's attribues (love). However, there is a danger in believing that the fictional "god" created by the author is the one true God revealed in the Bible. I get a little nervous when I read quotes like " It really helped me to find a God of my own understanding that was all about Love" . We must be careful not to find "a god or our understanding" and find the true God who revealed himself through his son Jesus.
Wow. It was recommened to me by me AA sponsor too. Really helped me in my troubles with finding a Higher Power that could work for me.
That is so great! I recommended to my sponsor and a Big Book Study I was in. It is kind of a lead in to A Course in Miracles, not that it needs one for sure.
It was recommended to me by my sponsor. It has really helped with my conception of a Higher Power.
