Die Hütte
Conservative critics were more positive towards the film. Kathy Schiffer of the "National Catholic Register" wrote that "I watched "The Shack" not once, but twice. It was inspiring, beautifully portrayed, and thought-provoking. The love and humor and the sheer joy of the Trinity, bantering over the dinner table in the Shack, was heart-warming, and it made fresh my awareness of God's love for me." Other conservative critics, such as Beliefnet's Wesley Baines, felt the film was successful because it resonated with the desires of its modern audience.
