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!

 my 12-yr-old writes better January 9, 2009
Kathy (Boston,MA)
Curious about all the fuss and stacks and stacks of this book everywhere I go, I thought I would listen to the audio version while I do... whatever (I had a feeling it was going to be a dog, and I didn't want to waste time). This book is so poorly written, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with half a brain or who actually enjoys reading for provoking thought or beautiful, intelligent language.

i believe in God but have always felt guilty going to church or for asking for his help and forgiveness...after reading The Shack i have a whole new outlook on my religious stance and my relationship with God. This book is phenomenal to say the least.
Beneath the Surface January 9, 2009

Several months ago, my cousin recommended THE SHACK. I looked it over and decided against it. In early December, another friend urged me to read it "so we can discuss it". Figuring that I couldn't truly judge the story, or believe it wasn't for me, until I had read it, I reluctantly opened its pages.
How wrong I was! It is filled, page after page with simplicity, beautiful prose, and overwhelming mystery. I found the story to have two levels - one level is the human tragedy that unfolds; the other is the role of the divinity. The end result, for me anyhow, is the hope in and desire for the transforming power of acceptance.
Worthy of giving to friends and family January 9, 2009

The Shack
I enjoyed this "take" on a faith journey that may have been fictional but "fits" so many people. I resonated as well with the unique view of God - so much so that I purchased additional copies for my friends and family. I look forward to reading it again for the "underlines" as I galloped through it the first time. Don't be put off by the pace in the opening chapters. It picks up and is worth the time.
We all inhabit a shack from time to time or for a lifetime January 9, 2009
Gayle F. Holten (Kentucky)
The title caught my eye - the content held my attention. Weaved throughout this compelling novel lies a deeper story of self-examination. I saw that someone has addressed the book theologically (by writing another book)and I almost purchased it to see what they had to say. But I stopped short not because I was afraid of any scriptural contradiction that I might find. I stopped because I wanted to hang onto the courage to identify my own "shack" and the redemption acquired from doing so. A deep and wonderful story about courage to take responsibility for your feelings and your behavior. A testament to forgiveness because perfect love cast out all fear.
