He also doesn’t want us to come into this relationship as a result of force, like some type of divine rape. God doesn’t just want His people to be followers of a bunch of rules of some man-made religion. First of all, The Shack depicts how God desires a relationship with His people because He loves us. I believe there are three positives that can be taken from this book. Many times I have heard people say something like this: “If only I could just see God face-to-face, just like Moses, then I would believe.” Based on a tragic murder, The Shack was intended to help believers understand in a metaphorical sense how God feels when traveling through the tough times and His desire to have a personal relationship with people, even when bad things happen to good people. What is it that makes this story so compelling? I believe bringing the three Persons of the Godhead to an almost-human level intrigues many readers. A movie based on the book starring Sam Worthington was released in the United State opened on March 3rd, 2017 and is certain to be viewed by millions of people. First printed at a copy shop and handed out to Young’s friends and relatives, the book has been atop the publishing charts for more than a decade. Very similar to the Harry Potter phenomenon, The Shack (written by William Young) has been acclaimed by many, including Evangelical Christians.
