"Getting to the point?"
Certainly the subject matter can be dry at best but the writing came across as more of a intellectual perspective.

You see, I am a retired homicide investigator and vaguely recall hearing of a serial murder case involving kidnappings and murders out of the US Park Properties which intrigued me.
The rest is history and without original motivation, The Shack took me on a spiritual journey that I could have never imagined.
It's occurred to me a number of times that those of faith trying to point non-believers to the beauty of accepting Christ could be better served in using The Shack as a non-religious or intimidating means of opening the doors to the possibilities. Like the author had hoped, this booked being marketed or directed through non traditional religious markets was it's success.
