No, but I was in a book club that did. It seemed a lot of people got something out of it. I considered it heretical and decided not to put such nonsense as three women posing as the Trinity into my brain.

But, that’s me! (No offense to those who have read it.)

I was prepared to be quite hostile to it as heretical when I began it.

I was pleasantly surprised.

I think C.S. Lewis takes more liberties in Narnia than the SHACK does.

I don’t think I’d have chosen Aunt Jemima to be the God figure in a novel of mine.

However, given his emphasis and goal of illustrating God’s nurturing Loving qualities, I don’t have a big problem allowing that literary device.

It worked OK, for me.
