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 as the shack on a wintry afternoon and walk 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.

 All talk and no substance! January 6, 2009
I had heard so much about this book and so I was very excited to finally get my own copy. I was very disappointed to find out that this book was somebodies personal soapbox for airing their strange religious views. This was possibly one man's journey to find peace, but it is not a definitive look at the nature of God.
 excellent book January 6, 2009
William Young writes with a casual style that is easy to read and conveys a deep message of Gods love.
WOW...reviews are all over the place... January 6, 2009
I am shocked at the number of people that rated this book with a 1 star. Obviously for this book to have an average of 4 stars many have conversly rated with many 5 star reviews. It's a well written book that made me stop and think about life, love, death and a 'higher power'...whether you believe in Papa, the Trinity, Jesus or some or all of them you have to admit that the book get's you to think. I think some people rated with a 1 star because this struck a raw nerve with them and the thought of God being a black woman was too much for them to be able to make sense of it in their head. I would recommend this book to anyone and I have. It should be read with an open mind and take away from it what you want without letting someone else's view, or review, change or impact how you feel about what the book inspires within you.
Inspiration at it's best January 6, 2009
Next to the Bible, The Shack is the most inspirational book that I have ever read. When you meet Papa in the shack, a personal relationship with God is renewed or reborn. I try to give a copy of this book to everyone that touches my life.
Soul Food January 6, 2009
The book's opening fateful tale immediately takes you captive and doesn't release you until the final page, if even then. The revelations of God's nature and character are unforgettable. It can reach across every divide - generations, denominations, cultures. Those quibbling with the book's theology do so needlessly. On every page I found a Creator/Father who exceeded in every way all I'd ever known of him. As a missionary, I've enjoyed sharing the book with many others, all of whom share my enthusiasm for the book. No doubt I'll be recommending the book the rest of my life...
