LOVELAND, Colo., Feb. 23, 2017 /Christian Newswire/ -- The film "The Shack" will be discussed at Lifetree Café community forums around the country during the week of March 5, 2017.

The film adaption of the New York Times Bestseller "The Shack" is scheduled to release nationally on March 3, and features Academy Award–winner Octavia Spencer (Hidden Figures and The Help), Sam Worthington (Avatar), and Grammy Award–winner Tim McGraw.

The Lifetree Café program, titled "Meeting God Face to Face: A Surprising Encounter From The Shack," features a clip from the film and invites discussion of loss, redemption, and various views of God.

According to Lifetree's National Director Craig Cable, "We are thrilled to have our Lifetree Café venues serve as a safe and welcoming place where people can talk openly about their experiences and beliefs as they relate to this powerful and thought-provoking film."
