- Fluffy little god made in our imagae
From a strictly literary perspective this book is fifth-grade level.That is one of the reasons this book is so attractive to modern culture.The author's points are packaged as if they were in a coloring book using drab vocabulary.Not much subtlety in this work.

The Shack was recommended by several trusted friends. I purchase books for people in jails/prisons as well other people who have extra time on their hands.
