The Shack “god” is the A.A. “higher power”

Bluntly stated, the god of The Shack is essentially the A.A. higher power with a Christian veneer.

It is all blending together. The universalism of Alcoholics Anonymous goes hand in hand with the universalism found (but denied) in The Shack.

“The author of The Shack has essentially applied A.A.’s higher power concept to the God of the Bible. As if taking scissors to the Word of God, William Young has cut out and removed His righteousness, judgment, wrath, holiness, and much else. He has piled on grace, love, forgiveness, and kindness-and who, after all, does not want to hear about these things? The author has remade the Biblical God the Father into a goddess seemingly out of one of the ancient pagan religions. This, in a time of spiritual and cultural breakdown, attracts the world.”
