“Discernment is not simply a matter of telling the difference between what is right and wrong; rather it is the difference between right and almost right.”
-Charles Spurgeon
The other night at our Home Fellowship Group, we briefly discussed a book entitled The Shack (written by William P. Young). Someone who had read the book noted that they saw some doctrinal issues in regards to the trinity. A couple of individuals mentioned that it had been recommended to them by friends and they wanted to know what all of the buzz was about. There is no doubt that it is incredibly popular in Christian circles. Although I have not read it and do not plan on reading it, I expressed my concerns about the book due to some reviews that I have read online. These reviews are from respected sources and I find them to be very discerning. Here are some of those reviews...Written Reviews:
- “The Shack” by William P. Young by Tim Challies (may be the most comprehensive and popular to date)
- Shack Attack - or A Call To Discernment? by Wayne Elliott
- The Shack reviewed by the Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry
- The Shack: Ramshackle Theology by Tom Neven
- But It’s Only Fiction by Tom Neven
- A Look at “The Shack” The Albert Mohler Radio Program
- Uncovering The Shack by Dr. Michael Youseff

Where's Driscoll's review you were talking about?...
Driscoll did have a good review, but he doesn't have my endorsement yet...although I do see some positive changes coming from him.
In his sermon, Driscoll cut straight to the incorrect theological perceptions with, of and about God in the book.
Scott Lindsey from TheResurgence did a indepth review of The Shack:

What do you mean positive changes coming from whom?
Joe,
I see some positive changes coming from Driscoll. Here's a good example http://adrianwarnock.com/2007/11/mark-driscoll-apologizes-for-not-being.htm.
Thanks for Scott Lindsey's review.
