Mackenzie Allen Phillips, the protagonist in this novel, has come to a point in his life where everything needs to make sense in order for him to live. He has come face to face with God. He has looked into the eyes of Jesus. He has questioned their judgment. But why? What loyal, active Christian would possibly have the courage, or even the guts, to look the one they worship in the eyes and tell them that they "don't get it"? Some of you can probably make this connection as well. At times in your life, you have a breakdown. You ponder about the meaning of life. Why do certain things happen? Who has the right to take the life of another? Why doesn't God help? You think that there is no way to escape from your sorrows. Maybe, like Mack, "The Great Sadness" has taken control of your life and you can't stop it. You want to change, you want to feel better, but you just can't.
Well, just take a visit to "The Shack". The religious viewpoint on dealing with your problems is discussed with tremendous detail here. Not only can you use this book to deal with your own problems, but you can use it to make everything in your life happier with the power of God. Millions of Christians, upon reading this book, will love it and cherish everything that it has to say. It truly does show the power of Christ.
Thanks for your great explanation Nihar !
