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!

 Inspiring Book - Makes You Think Outside of the Box December 3, 2008

The Shack is an inspiring novel based on core spiritual truths. It is hard to put down once you begin reading it. I found my self laughing and crying at the same time. It makes you think outside of the box regarding God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. It shows how simple and beautiful real love is. You definitely will want to share it with friends and family. I did! I am waiting to get it back so I can re-read it.

A surprisingly touching read December 3, 2008

Let me start by saying, I picked up this book with no expectations, no summary and without reading any reviews. I was looking for a fictional story--or, a light read. I have been reading more serious topics in nonfiction concerning spirituality, enlightenment, and soul-purpose lately, and I thought I was reaching for a break when I picked up this best-seller.
Behind a gripping story-line (the murder of a child), there is a Christian-based teaching with a spiritual feel to it. This type of story always upsets rigid church-goers who have been using fear-based teachings all their life and hold onto those teachings for dear life (literally). This type of book about a free-and-adoring God really upsets fear-based thinkers (hence the low-star ratings and rantings here on Amazon).
Overall, it is a sweet read about how truly adored we are in every light and it is much more thought-provoking and deep than I had anticipated. It offers a tangible approach to God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, so if that is not your cup of tea, you should save yourself the stress and upset this genuinely loving novel will offer.
If you are seeking peace, if you love learning about how loved you are in this universe, then this book will bring you tears of sorrow and joy--in a really good way. All the best.
