NY Times article on "The Shack."

A book called "The Shack," by a former office manager and hotel night clerk, has been No. 1 on the NY Times trade paperback best-seller list virtually all month. The same with Borders' and Barnes & Noble's trade paperback best-seller lists.

Published by a small publisher that was formed by a former pastr expressly to publish the book, "The Shack" has enjoyed its success through word of mouth and probably got some notoriety by being lambasted by some conservative Christian leaders and bloggers.

Between this book's success, the success of the Left Behind series of books, and the success of The Purpose-Driven Life, it's safe to say if you can capture the imagination of devout Christians, you've got a hit on your hands. See also The Passion of the Christ.

I don't really have anything interesting to add, but I thought it was worth noting.
