Is it too much to suggest that Christians are meeting God in The Shack because they haven’t met him face-to-face in the Bible? Would it be unfair to think that we have spent more time drinking at ‘the shack’ of individualism and comfort than from the well of scriptural truth? The church growth gurus with their insistence on ‘relevance’ have left us with such a terrifying theological hole in our churches that Christians have gratefully accepted an anaemic God who can do nothing but stand around and desperately hope that people will turn to him.
