The Shack

I loved the story about Mack’s loss and how God taught and showed him the power of forgiveness and the difference it will make in all of our lives. It’s a wonderful book!!

Great movie!

Healing!

If you tune in to your spiritual side and watch this movie more than once it WILL astound you

Such a good portrayal of how our relationship should be with the God the father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

I just have to say ⚠️**TRIGGER WARNING** ⚠️ ⚠️ Kidnapping ⚠️ Child death⚠️ As a father and his three children are on a camping trip, his family experiences a near drowning, when after he rescues one of his children, he is relieved to see that child is going to be okay. However, one of his children come up missing. (Kidnapped & SA & murdered). Filled with grief and anger and un forgiveness, family growing apart, he has lost his faith until receives a mysterious letter with no return address, asking him to return to where it all began. Filled with suspense, heartbreaking moments, laughter moments, this is one movie you must see. Though it isn’t 100% biblically accurate, this movie serves its purpose on topics of God, Jesus, family, forgiveness, letting go and allowing God to take charge, loss, grief, faith, loss of faith and regaining it. The Shack stirred up things in me I kept or tried to keep buried deep within myself for years but also showed me exactly where I was lacking and reminded me that everyone deserves forgiveness, not just for the one that has done me wrong but more importantly, myself. This movie is in my opinion appropriate for all ages 12 yrs and up. Staring Tim McGraw

I first saw this movie years after it was released on Netflix and had me crying. Im not much of a crier but the meaning of the movie is what many of us struggle with, finding and knowing God and finding Him again. We all have our losses and this movie helped me not only to heal after losing my mom but also to find God again. This is a must watch and must have.

Let me set the stage a bit. The Case for Christ was getting ready to be released and I heard some women in my theology class talking about the Shack. Shortly after this, I saw a trailer. I was a bit put off thinking Octavia Spencer might be representing God.. hopefully not. I decided not to see it at the theater and instead read the book. The book helped me get past the God as a woman with its explanation for it but some of the things in the book were hard for me to visualize. I liked the book though and had no trouble finishing it. then I preordered the movie. This movie is a GOOD thing. I dont understand why people are trying to make it bad. If more Christians operated on the basis of love, forgiveness and trusting God to be the judge there would be... wait for it more Christians. Call me crazy but Im pretty sure God would approve. Ive started reading this piece called The Shack -- the Missing art of evangelical discernment thanks to a commenter. I have a lot to read still but one thing I have noticed is that the writer doesnt seem to get the concept of the trinity saying that the Father and the Holy Spirit werent suffering with JKesus on the Cross. That is like saying Jesus wasnt there at creation when the bible clearly states he was John 1:1, 14. The trinity is very hard to wrap our heads around but the movie did a good job representing it when Mack asked: Whch one of you is... The answer says it all. Watch it if you love God, watch it if you dont believe in God but arent so opposed to God you cant stand any references to it. Watch it if you have a semi-open mind. The message in this movie is something the world needs so much more of and though I am a professing active Christian Im not referring to the believing in Christ part. I thought this was a beautiful movie wonderfully acted and it almost brought my stoic husband to tears. I am so sad to see so many Christans not supporting something that could be so helpful to the faith if they just practiced the Biblical principals of love and forgiveness this movie does so well at conveying.

Wonderful movie and music.

If you have seen Him, then you should see this. If you want to see Him, you should see this. If you are not sure if you believe in Him, you should see this.
