How can wounded people come to believe that God deeply loves them?
Many have enjoyed William Young's "The Shack," even if they puzzled over the book's actual meaning and theology. While some were quick to dismiss it as fiction, "The Shack" isn't really fiction at all. It's a modern day parable.
"Meeting God at The Shack" shows hurting people how to read this story with profit and come to know God more fully.
Meeting God at the Shack A Journey into Spiritual Recovery edition by John Mark Hicks Religion Spirituality eBooks
I read The Shack and thoroughly enjoyed it, but was not sure what to do with all of the negative critiques. Young was attacked for some questionable theology, which I somewhat understood, but was not sure it was actually warranted because I wondered if the critics were missing his point. Hicks goes through The Shack and attempts to help his readers comprehend what Young was actually trying to communicate. Hicks' efforts are appreciated, and very effective.It seems that many of the critics of The Shack misunderstand the genre of Young's work. Hicks spends time developing this concept as he discusses Young's motives, as well as Young's background and history. As Hicks points out, Young is not attempting systematic theology, but rather "an extended modern parable." With this in mind, we can set out to read the book for what it is: parabolic theology that might very well lead the reader down a path of introspection, and also closer to God.
The Shack invites the reader to be very real, and genuine: to go to places that are deep, dark, and hidden. Hicks takes that invitation a step further and more fully develops some very key elements of Young's book (e.g., Hicks' discussions on the Triune shine, gardening with God, and the Trinity). It appears obvious that Young has endured much suffering and sadness, and perhaps this is why Hicks is able to do so much with Young's work, for he too has experienced great pain, suffering, and setbacks. There is something about Hicks that is very real; he is able to empathize, and thus elaborate in ways that many cannot.
For me, The Shack was painful, yet liberating. Hicks' book was more of the same, for which I am appreciative.

Meeting God at the Shack A Journey into Spiritual Recovery edition by John Mark Hicks Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
I would recommend this book to anyone whose life has been touched by the book The Shack. It looks a little deeper into spiritual recovery and sees the original book as a modern day parable. Great read!
One of the best books I have read in a very long time. This book flowed very well with the Left Behind Series by another group of authors supporting our spiritual health. This book should be read by all those that believe and those that do not believe. So positive in learning to deal and moving forward.
Helped me to a deeper understanding of my faith in the Trinity. He gave information about his life and tied it to scripture and events at the shack.
I found this version explaining "The Shack", very informative. I disagree with all the negetive comments on The Shack". This book helps with its take on spirituality. We all need enlightenment in plain terms. These stories help get us thinking more about our life after passing.
When I first read the Shack, I was deeply touched and didn't know why exactly why or what but reading this book helped me to understand what I was missing. Both books ha e increased my understanding of God's love for me and where my pain comes from. More important I know joy and peace.
I was so touched by The Shack and apprehensive at first as to what John Mark Hicks could add or explain that I would need to hear or read, of how far I was from reality. Meeting God at the Shack broke down into understandable terms the journey God was taking Mack on and the absolute love and acceptance Mack came away with from that short, in actual time, but so long , in spiritual journey with the Holy Trinity. A must read for anyone who has already read or is contemplating reading The Shack.
This excellent book goes well beyond The Shack. It explains why and how the characters represent members of the Holy Trinity and clarifies symbolism used in The Shack that I found confusing. The author, John Mark Hicks, shares his own struggles and how reading The Shack brought greater understanding and peace to his difficulties. I would highly recommend this book to people who read The Shack, but found it confusing, as well as to those who loved the The Shack. I'd also recommend it to those who have had devastating experiences and wondered why God was not there for them through their sorrows.
