I’ve had a number of people ask me about the book “The Shack.”  I recently was loaned a copy to book read.  And I have to be honest and say that I wouldn’t suggest reading it.  Why?  In my view it is heretical and in opposition to sound Bible doctrine. 

For starters, I have a real problem with the God the Father being a large black woman and the Holy Spirit being also being a female.  I know some will say… “Lighten up!  It’s just a novel!”  Answer: Trust me… I am holding back.  At least I’m not sending death threats like the radical Muslims when their faith is in their view misrepresented in a novel (Salmon Rushdie).  It’s just when it comes to God I tend to take things a little serious.

But rather than taking up a lot of room writing my thoughts… I found a clip by pastor Mark Driscoll who puts what I believe into clear easy to understand terms.
