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!

5 out of 5 stars WOW   September 7, 2008
This is an awesome book and highly recommended to anyone who has issues with forgiveness from deep wounds inflicted by others. I love how the author brings out the relationship between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and how they long to touch our lives with their healing power.
His illustration of the Father always being what we need was overwhelming.
I love this book and have purchased several to pass on to others, I want everyone to read 'The Shack'.

5 out of 5 stars A book offering hope of love and liberty   September 7, 2008
This book is the embodiment of all that I believe God has been offering me for many years now, but which I've been too scared to believe in. The interactions between Mack, Papa, Jesus and Sarayu display a way of 'doing church' with which most of us are unaccustomed. To live the relationship style they are offering is to loose the bonds which have held the church for so long - namely, the bonds of performance and formulas as well as the sense of duty; the alternatives to these could bring us a fulness of life many of us have given up hoping to find.


1 out of 5 stars A Book for New Agers!   September 7, 2008

I was shocked to find that the author changed the names and sexes of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It was nice fiction but found it blasphemous and also misleading.

I read, completley,this much talked about book but I did not care for it. I'm an 84 year old Christian--evangelical--but this was not for me. Maybe younger folks see something here that I do not understand. I just can't view the Trinity in this way.


2 out of 5 stars A must read   September 7, 2008
This is the best book about the nature of God I have ever read. I gave a copy to each of my children and have two that are circulating among friends. It was money well spent.
