The Shack Movie Trivia
Some details about the soundtrack for The Shack have been released and it sounds like it will be awesome. Country power couple, Tim McGraw and his wife, Faith Hill, have recorded a duet for the film, titled Keep Your Eyes On Me. Tim McGraw is also set to star in the movie as the role of Willie.
Also on the soundtrack for the upcoming movie will be country duo Dan & Shay, with When I Pray for You; country group Lady Antebellum, with Lay Our Flowers Down; Christian rock band Skillet, with Stars; worship band Hillsong United, with Heaven Knows and pop star Kelly Clarkson and soul singer Aloe Blacc with a duet, titled Love Goes On.
Of course, as with many faith-based movies, The Shack doesn’t come without controversy. One of the main controversies is the 3 people that comprise The Trinity, in the movie. Jesus is a Jewish carpenter; The Holy Spirit is an Asian woman and God the Father is an African-American woman. The main problem lies with God the Father being a woman and being African-American.
The book, The Shack, by William P. Young is a best-selling novel, selling more than 25 million copies and is printed in 41 languages. He is aware of the controversy surround the book and the movie, but he states that his goal was to challenge people’s ideas about God’s character and nature.

I had not heard of this movie but it sounds amazing. I would love to see it. I have a friend who had something similar happen. Her husband struggled with his faith, but she never did.
I haven’t heard of this movie. It sounds so sad! I’m sure it will be a good one, especially since Tim and Faith are doing the music!!
I’ve been hearing a lot about this movie. I would love to see this with my mom. She loves watching drama movies.
The main things that usually drive me to want to see a movie are familiar faces and then the trailer. The latter was very engaging. Looks like a great movie to see.
I should watch the movie after I attempt to read the book. I got most of the way through it and had to put it down. The story was sad to me so it got difficult to read.
I have never heard of this movie. It looks like it would be right up my alley. I will have to check it out.
I’ve never heard of this movie before but it sounds pretty good. Can’t wait to check it out.
This sounds like a very entertaining film. I would like to read the book first though before watching the film. 🙂
This sounds like a fantastic movie. It is amazing and difficult to face what our minds go through after a traumatic event. I think this will be a great film to help those who haven’t gone through such things to be able to see what you do go through and maybe be able to sympathize a little more with their friends and families who face tragedies.
