Here's a good interview with the author where he talks about some of the "controversies" of the book:

A a Pastor's lunch today the host pastor was walking me out, and we went through his church bookstore. He picked up "The Shack" and asked whether I had read it. I told him I knew of it, but had never read it. He told the bookstore clerk "Charge one of these to my office" and handed me a copy.

Now I guess I need to read it.

I'm still working my way through it but it's the second week it's hit the NYT paperback fiction list. And they don't count Christian bookstores, so you know the book is selling like hotcakes. Definitely something I need to be prepared to discuss when I run into people, like yesterday. I was interviewed for a story and mentioned how obviously the book has connected with people in a unique way. It's not just a "oh that's nice for me" but it provokes an evangelistic type "you have to read this, too!".
