Big Shack Attack?
By kirk noonan | June 2, 2008
The Shack, a book that has soared to the top of best-selling lists, has intrigued readers, given hope to would-be novelists, amazed the publishing world, and riled a few theologians along the way with its treatment of the Trinity.
Here are a few facts Simple Plan has discovered about The Shack.
- In late May the book debuted #1 on the New York Times bestseller list.
- Eugene Peterson, author of The Message, expressed his feelings for The Shack this way: “When the imagination of a writer and the passion of a theologian cross-fertilize the result is a novel on the order of The Shack. This book has the potential to do for our generation what John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress did for his. It’s that good!”
- In April The Shack had risen to the #6 best-selling book in store at Barnes and Noble.
- Some Christian leaders are not pleased with the handling of theology in The Shack regarding the Trinity.
No matter where you fall in terms of liking or disliking The Shack share your views with Simple Plan.

Hi Kirk,
read a story by you in TPE this morning. Saw your blog address and stopped by to see if you had an email address here. Guess not, so I’m posting a comment. Interesting review of the Shack. I also reviewed that for The Christian Pulse. I’d love to have you check out my latest novel - starring the son of a AG pastor. It is called Reforming the Potter’s Clay and is a magick versus miracles novel which goes after Harry Potter and Pottermania.
Take care!
