Reflections of a Variant

One of the most controversial stories in recent Christian writing, The Shack is the story of a father’s struggle to understand why a good god would let tragedy and suffering happen to his family and in the world. This book ruffled fundamental feathers for its portrayal of God and the Holy Spirit as women, in addition to some subtle head nods to universalist theology. That aside, I found it to be one of the best explanations of suffering and sovereignty and beautifully shows God’s love and redemptive power.
