A stereotype-shattering description of God's nature.
The Shack provides several outstanding things to love.
1) It shows God in unexpected ways, but fully within the scope of what's possible.
2) The main character has a very real problem - his beloved little daughter is kidnapped and murdered. He's familiar with God, but a God who can let him be abused by an alcoholic father, and let his innocent little girl get murdered simply is NOT the kind of God he can look up to, much less worship.
3) The most valuable part for me - little by little, with zero coercion, God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit draw him out, so that he expresses his anguish, his fears, and his doubts very forthrightly. And God helps him to see his experiences from a new point of view so that he can forgive those responsible for the atrocities he has suffered.
Outstanding. Would have been five stars, except that I didn't know it had Spanish subtitles which I couldn't turn off.
