Today I would love to share my personal sentiments of The shack, one of the most moving and beautifully made movies I have ever seen in my life. At the beginning, it is important to mark that the production is actually an adaptation of a book written by William Paul Young, which, undoubtedly, has stolen the hearts of many people all around the world. What makes it so unusual? you would ask. Undeniably, it is the way it struggles with two perennial questions: Where is God when people are suffering? and Why He does not prevent them? The answer it gave utterly astonished me just like its simplicity.

I have an impression that the book is, above all, dedicated to people who lost their trust in God, who believe He abandoned them when they needed Him the most, to those whose personal tragedies persuaded them that God does not love and care about His own creation as He lets it slowly lose itself in misery. If you are one of those people, The shack can drastically change your perception of God and soothe the pain constantly poisonning your wounded heart. Personally speaking, I will keep its incredibly moving story forever in my mind. So what is the book about?
At the beginning, we meet the main character, Mackenzie Phillips, a man whose youngest daughter, Missy, was kidnapped and then brutally murdered in an old shack, hidden deep down in the woods, a place him and his children had chosen for a family camping. 4 years later, Mack receives a mysterious letter, in which God invites him to the shack, the source of his darkest nightmares, to spend with him the whole weekend. This unusual meeting changes his life dramatically.
In my opinion, the book as well as its movie adaptation can strenghten your faith and learn you how to overcome hatred and spread love, the task your soul was created to do. I believe it really has a power to heal the interior, invisible wounds, to help people who feel lost, rebuild their bond with God. It raises their spirits by stressing that He is always by our side, whenever we cry or laugh. The author also touches a pretty sensitive subject which is forgiving the ones who hurt us. It presents it as a part of our own recovery which lets us put out a burning hatred that devours our heart.
I highly recommend you The shack and its movie adaptation which can really make you burst into tears and change positively your attitude towards God. If you read the book or watched the film please share your thoughts in the comments! That's all for today! Bye!;)
