Another email I received from Lighthouse Trails...includes a letter from a former Catholic questioning The Shack:

• To Lighthouse Trails:

I thank the Lord for your ministry! As a former Roman Catholic, I am now aware of the false teachings of that denomination…. but now I seem to be bombarded with born – again believers who have never been involved in my old denomination and yet they are seeking the experiences similar to “Catholic Saints” like St. Teresa…. How can this be when they have the Holy Spirit in them!

I am concerned about people embracing teachings like Kruger Baxter…. he is applauding the book The Shack and has written a soon to be released book titled The Shack Revisited.

I know the basic Truth that Jesus died for the entire world… so even the Muslims, Hindus, etc. can be saved IF they accept Jesus and His Finished Work.

"I read recently that The Shack, states that Jesus is the BEST Way to salvation. I have no desire to purchase the book and read for myself (maybe I should)… but does it actually say that He is the best way? I know that He is the ONLY Way…. if the book indeed makes the statement of Jesus being the best way, that would be enough of a statement for me to “argue” the validity of the book."
