Exploring, “The Shack”- 15- A Festival of Friends

By Dan | November 13, 2008

This chapter isn’t quite as packed as other chapters. I would be curious to see how other people react to the feel of the chapter.

In it, Sarayu reveals to Mack people on a deeper level, where they are viewed through colors which reflect their traits, emotions, etc. On some levels, this is kind of cool. After all, it works for me that to God sees, feels, smells, and hears everything on a deeper level than our senses can presently take in. This is almost like a little peek into that perception.

At the same time, the use of colors to reflect the truth behind a person is a little new-agey. I know I’ve heard people talk about what colors a person is, how that’s something that was revealed to them, a special knowledge God has given them and select people. That can start taking a person in some strange directions, none of which center themselves on Christ and his love as revealed in The Word.

What kind of a feel did you get from it? Peaceful, happy, or a little strange?
