Esther,
I did not get the impression that the author of The Shack addressed the state of the dead in any way, since the main character's experience appears to have been a dream/vision while unconscious on the floor of the shack.
Just my take on things.

Its not evil Bob, its very interesting. There are parts I definitely don't agree with, but that goes for any book outside of the Bible. We read it for worship along with the bible and out devotional books for the year. Just my thoughts Bob.

I wouldn't say I got any spiritual insights from it, but just a different perspective. Kind of like the book "Hind's Feet", not sure of the exact name. I had my problem's with The Shack, but it was interesting reading, how the author related God to a big fat black woman, and Jesus to a weird carpenter, and the HS to a very strange illusion. I do believe that if someone is not really strong in the faith they could easily be taken in New Age thinking!
