Thanks. I had not even heard of this book. I greatly admire Hank and his word is good enough for me. I agree with you that we need to keep up on what the enemy does. There were many who lost their faith after reading “The DaVinci Code.” Now one might suppose that people who have lost their faith after reading a book like that OR the Shack never had a saving faith to begin with but that’s an entirely separate discussion.

Knowledge is power my pops always said.

I must agree, however we must keep in mind that the many Christians are as Paul said in 1Corinthians 3:2,

I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able;

So it is not only our duty but our responsibility to ensure the young children John spoke of in 1John 2:1,

My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

do not fall for the lies like many did even in the days when the apostles themselves still walked and spread the word to a dark world.
