“Bruxy reminds us just how controversial and shocking Jesus' message and actions were to the culture he lived in. He makes a great point in this book that Jesus didn't come to start another religion. Rather he came to bring an end to all our religious attempts to get to God.

Because Bruxy is careful not to use Christian jargon, this book can easily be read and understood by those not familiar with the Christian Faith.”

“I have to give this book 5 stars for sentimental reasons. This was the book that got me hooked on reading for life. I had read small chapter books here and there growing up, but in the 9th grade I was 'required' to read this book for class. I have always been a bit of a daydreamer, but when I read this book, my imagination came to life. I was sucked into middle earth, and never recalled turning pages or reading words, instead I was seeing the story in my minds eye. Ever since then, I've loved to read stories.”

“I have to admit that growing up, love wasn't something that was displayed or lived out in our family. Oh we used the word a time or two, but it was just another word. So for me, God's love didn't have a whole lot of depth or meaning until I read this book. When I read this book I realized that God actually liked me, and that was a revolutionary thought for me. Because, God was able to reach my heart through Max's words, I have been a fan of Max ever since.”

“This is one of those few fiction books that can have a tremendous impact on your life. Eugene Peterson says that it has the potential to be the 'Pilgrims Progress' for this generation and I would agree. In the story the main character, Mack, get's a mysterious invitation to spend the weekend with God at the shack where his young daughter may have been murdered several years earlier. The meeting will have you laughing, crying, praying, and reaching for your Bible. You will likely never look at God the same ever again. Read this book if you get the chance! http://www.theshackbook.com/”

“This book is an excellent reminder that we do not have to perform, to be loved by God. He loves us already! If you feel like you are constantly 'working' to earn approval from God and never know how much is enough then this book is for you.”
