June 18, 2008 |

Here are a list of online reviews others have done to sink your teeth into:

Tim Challies review
http://www.challies.com/archives/book-reviews/the-shack-by-william-p-young.php
A pretty long and in-depth review discussing the different topics covered by the book and Tim Challies opinions on them. Good to have a look at the books theological implications to the topics discussed.

The (unofficial) Shack Review blog
http://theshackreview.wordpress.com/
A group of people working through the book together, posting synopsis of each chapter (without too many spoilers) and their thoughts. Good if you want to get the jist of the plot-line.

Pomomusings review
http://pomomusings.com/2007/09/03/the-shack-a-review/
A more ‘progressive’ and ‘open’ review. If you don’t want something too critical.

Don Holmes review
http://donholmes.blogspot.com/2008/05/review-of-book-shack-runaway-best.html
Don Holmes provides a nice list of things the book claims, and an even longer list of where it goes wrong. Short and to the point.

Crossroad review
http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/08/shack.htm
This guy doesn’t like the shack. Plenty of quotes from the book aswell as the bible, if you’re wanting to see the books short-comings.

iMonk review
http://www.internetmonk.com/archive/recommendation-and-review-the-shack-by-william-p-young
Well balanced review by iMonk, not beings overly critical or blind to its errors. Nice and short too.
