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!

 Excellent, Just Excellent!, 2008-07-20
This book was highly recommended by a good friend, for months. I was reluctant to buy it because it sounded so "strange". The story IS strange. However, it is outstanding!! I now understand the Trinity (God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit) more than I ever realized I could grasp the relationships and roles of all three entities. Readers should go into this with an open mind (NOT legalistic, NOT with pre-conceived "religious" viewpoints). Just read it with an open mind and while yes, it is "strange", it is also such a fantastic source. It is, in reality, very scripturally based regarding the roles of all three- God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit and will enlighten the reader to the role, and freedom-all offer us. I have to respectfully disagree with those bashing this book. It is clearly fiction, we all get that. But, it provides a God-view of forgiving and judging (our judging others). And yes, while the Bible is our main source, God's word and gift to us, this book DOES support the Biblical stance of the Trinity, forgiving, grace, and most importantly love. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!!!
