I mean, I get the fact that it is symbolic, a metaphor, and a parable. Still, you would think people would be less satisfied with the easy answers that The Shack provides. I, too, grew up as a missionary kid. I experienced an eerily similar childhood to Wm. Paul Young. After reading his book, however, I am left even less satisfied and confident that God exists, let alone that she/he desires a personal relationship with me. To be sure, I have an ambivalent relationship with religion and religious institutions. In that sense, the book was refreshing. Despite areas of agreement, I can’t help feeling like The Shack paints an overly simplistic picture of the great sadness and the soul-searching that comes from a lifetime of religious brainwashing, abuse, and neglect.
