So, I'm finally getting around to reading The Shack by Wm. Paul Young at my mom's suggestion over Christmas. I'm not a very religious guy, but my mom is and I figured I'd do this to humor her. I have no problem with Christian literature if you're a fan of it, but why do they have to be so blunt with their references? I'm 30 pages in and there have already been five or more references to "the story about Jesus" or "his wife is a strong believer, but I have my doubts", or "Papa is her nickname for God".

I don't read much Christian literature, but what I have read is always like this. Is there any popular Christian literature that is a bit more subtle with its undertones, or does it all assume we are morons/10 year olds and hit you with the religion like a lead pipe over and over again? Any critically acclaimed Christian literature out there?

e: Holy poo poo, some critic compared this book to Pilgrim's Progress. No loving way.
