The theme of The Shack was to show that even a man whos child was murdered can forgive and how powerful forgiveness is. He showed me that if we all forgave our debters the world would be in perfect harmony. God revealing himself in mysterious ways may also be a theme. Some obvious themes are love, a father child relationship, and how battling up your feelings isn't good. This book and it's themes can truly help someone that is spirtually lost. " 'Daddy!' yelled Mack, and threw helpself onto the man who couldn't even look at his son...'Daddy, I love you!' The light of his words seemed to blast darkness out of his father's colors" (215). Forgiveness lets people heal, love, and be loved.
