I recently started reading "The Shack."
I was challenged by a pastor-friend of mine who said that I "wasn't qualified to comment on it's contents if I hadn't read it through."
While I think that's flawed thinking, I got a copy used off of Amazon to read.
Aside from being boring, it's loaded with cheap shots about religion, and seminary, "head knowledge" and such.
I've just gotten to the part where Mack is in the shack talking with this blasphemous portrayal of God, and it's very tough wading through it...it's so..."icky" for lack of a better word.
Why anyone thinks that this is good reading is beyond me...
