The Shack - April Book Club



Firstly we made some decisions regarding the choosing of books after September when the current choices run out. We have decided that three months before the books are due to run out we will choose three more months worth. So for example, in June we will pick the next three for October, November, and December. We also decided that everyone who wants to should suggest a book, then we'll vote on the list and the three with the most votes will be the next three books to read. I hope this is ok with everyone, if it doesn't work out we can choose another method!

Secondly we discussed what i think was the least enjoyed book so far!

Having said that some people would reread The Shack to get a little more out of it having read and discussed in in bookclub. We also decided that this might only be a book we recommend to people we know have religeon of some kind because it would be more likely to appeal to them.

We all thought the message was essentially good, but the book was not very well written and felt a little preachy. It was felt that as with religeon people find what they need within this book, so we all had very different opinions on it.

We felt that Nan was the person God wishes us all to be, she was loving and open and forgiving. We wondered why Mack chose not to bring her with him to the Shack given his knowledge that she was very religious.

Our average mark was 5 out of 10 with marks ranging from 0 to 7.
