Product Description
Mackenzie Allen Philips' youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later in the midst of his Great Sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on a wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change Mack's world forever. In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant "The Shack" wrestles with the timeless question, "Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?" The answers Mack gets will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as it did him. You'll want everyone you know to read this book!

obviously it would be hard to write a book about god and have everyone happy. everyone has such a different perception. that is one reason i hated the book...it didnt fit with my god. the biggest reason however that i hated this book was it was written poorly and i found it extremely cheesy. i couldnt stop thinking who in their right mind likes this. to each his own i guess.
 Well Worth the Read...For Anyone! August 29, 2008

This is a wonderful read for anyone who is the least bit interested or curious about God or wants to deepen their understanding and relationship with his/her creator. Young paints a beautiful picture of words as he recounts the story of his friend, and although I am sure it is not half of what Mack experienced, the penmanship is to be appreciated. This is not a "churchy" "religious" or otherwise "Christian" book in the way that many would think--it is about real tragedy and a real God who may not alway be what we think. Well worth the time and a book I will re-read!
Beautiful! August 28, 2008
A beautiful parable about God's love. It was so helpful in understanding God, His love, and the trinity. Also, it helps take away the fear of death and also of evil. I want everyone I love to read this book. Thank you, William P. Young for sharing your gift of insight.
A wonderful read August 28, 2008
The Shack is a beautiful, painful, heart-rendering story about how God feels, how He loves to love, how He hurts more when bad things happen than we can ever realise, and how He created us for one purpose - relationship. I don't generally read Christian fiction because it seems to be so 'end-times' based but halfway through this book, I actually felt as if I had stopped reading and instead God was speaking to me. It's a masterpiece. Ignore any comments about it being theologically incorrect. Instead, celebrate this book for what it is - a story of how God loves us, YOU, me, and how He created us to be in relationship with Him.
