I read the wiki description of 'The Shack'. It seems friendly to Christians, though of course written by a Canadian hence immediately suspect of cheesiness. It is not my preference to dump novels in with nonfiction works for theological purposes and inclusion on heresy lists. I lived in a shack myself for several years in Alaska and hadn't any epiphanies worthy of being described as heretical. The book was a Canadian fiction writer's paradigm! They drink Molson's! George Burns was guilty of heresy for portraying God in a movie I suppose-still, those were interesting and even enjoyable movies. The author seems to have selected elements eclectic enough to interest consumers from several directions, though not Saskatchewan. Oregon, serial killer, river canoeing, a shack, a black female vision of God, the trinity, Papa, a dream-it was loaded!
It needed to be published in the last year of the G.W. Bush administration-today the author might have named it 'Honky Chateau'. Maybe its an allegory of the 2nd term of G.W. with Condi the vision of god in metaphor and Hillary as the serial killer?

I wonder what Mary Lou Finlay thought about it.
