Shack Attack

Living in Phoenix “Shack Attack” has basketball and biblical connotations and similarities . The man (of the Phoenix Suns) and the book (by William Young) both draw plenty of positive and negative comments. Right now I am to disgusted with the NBA in general to comment on the man, Shack except to say I have always enjoyed watching him play. My interest these days goes to The Shack Book. I am amused and confused by some of the criticisms that are hurled like rocks in a riot at the book. Some make me wonder if there is not another edition I did not read. Some critiques I understand even though I personally may not agree, some are so distant from the content of the book it makes me wonder what their agenda really is? Why would anyone expend that much effort and in some cases venom over a book? We are all supposed to be in the same family here. Disagreements, yes, discussions, welcome. My reason for liking the Shack is expressed by Oswald Chambers: “It is possible to know all about doctrine and still not know Jesus. A person’s soul is in grave danger when the knowledge of doctrine surpasses Jesus, avoiding intimate touch with Him.” I think The Shack does that, at least for some people. What if they get an imperfect view of the Holy Trinity? (As if anyone can claim perfect knowledge there)? Maybe Paul had a good Idea: PHP 3:15 “All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. 16 Only let us live up to what we have already attained.” If I am the immature one, God will correct me, if you are, God will correct you. I am free to love and be loved and so are you. So live free and let others live free
