The Shack

I read The Shack a few years ago but just wasnt ready to work through it/accept the whole version of God & pain & forgiveness. Watched the movie on Pure Flix a few months ago & it really pierced my heart. Im reading the book again & will undoubtedly watch this DVD again. Religious concepts that were pounded into my head as a child made everything related to God about His wrath, about Him being this unreachable force who was ready & willing to smite me whenever I mess up. While I was introduced to a real & loving God in my early adulthood, I never really felt like, well, like He actually cared/cares. This movie has opened up a new outlook for me - given me I believe a more accurate view of Jesus & God & the Spirit - & genuine Divine love. Very glad to have been reintroduced to Papa. Looking forward to getting to know Him better.

I loved the story about Mack’s loss and how God taught and showed him the power of forgiveness and the difference it will make in all of our lives. It’s a wonderful book!!

Very interesting and held my interest

If you have seen Him, then you should see this. If you want to see Him, you should see this. If you are not sure if you believe in Him, you should see this.

The movie helps explain certain facts about our Creator.

Doesnt play on a PC if you dont have the right software. Plays wonderful on a basic DVD player.

This was an excellent rendition of the novel. I had tears in my eyes for most of the scenes set in the shack with the three persons of the trinity. The way the story depicts Gods immense love for His creation is brilliant. Yes, at times a little preachy but Im okay with it. I loved the 3 choices of actors for the Father, Son and Spirit. Fabulous. And the intensity of their connection and love for Mac was beautiful to watch. I kept saying to God, this is what I want, Lord; to live like this. And crazy to think its how He wants us to live with Him, always staying close and dependent on Him. The story does a great job exploring the mysteries of why does God allow suffering, the role evil plays in the world, the importance of forgiveness and our own susceptibility to being judges of right and wrong. All good reminders for me. I watched the DVD with a non-believer who found it a tad boring and I can understand that. As she said, theres a very specific market for this movie and as far as she was concerned she wasnt it. Which made me sad. However, Im sure the Lord will use this story to convict many non-believers and be another link in the chain that draws them to Him. The scenery is gorgeous and the representation of the shack when God is present is beautiful. And there are laughs as well but I wont spoil it by mentioning the scenes. Im sure Ill be watching it again soon.

Yet again another amazing film. This one came In good condition and played well. The only issue is the digital copy is selective to what platform you can use, but since this movie is such a good film to watch…it is worth just having the blu ray disc.

Definitely recommend if you are a spiritual person. Helps you deal with your thoughts and emotions spiritually. Great performance by all actors and actresses. Standout Octavia Spencer. A must see.

Movies do not make me cry,, but i was wiping tears during this one. Loved it
