I recently read the book The Shack, the book is based on one man’s experience with God after the horrible and gruesome death of his daughter at the hands of a serial killer. The book tries to answer many questions regarding God and his existence some of the questions being the following: where is God in a world so full of tragedy, and does, he use pain and misfortune to change other people? Mack experiences three different forms of God, The Holy Trinity. They change and shape him into a person who
A simple textual analysis of “The Shack” According to “The Shack”, William Paul Young had to confront the issue of theodicy; how a loving god could allow such overwhelming pain, suffering and evil in the world he created.

Mack, a character in The Shack, is a powerful example of the involved nature of sin and the process of forgiving someone. Through Mack's experiences, we are able to observe both the terrible consequences of sin on his life and his incredible path toward redemption and healing through the practice of forgiveness.
