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!

"Love, Papa" August 29, 2008
This book is eye opening (to say the elast), in the sense that it opens the eyes of one's heart. Having been a Christian for 20 years I had my own views about the manifestation of God's love for humanity. I believed with all my heart that I understood, as best a mere mortal could, the kind of love God feels for us. Until the author introduced Sophia to us. When Mack is told to choose two of his children to be sent to heaven and the other three to be sent to hell, my heart momentarily stopped. To understand that God is presented with this choice constantly is excruciatingly eye opening. Knowing that there are people, presumably christian people, who pray for God to damn to hell an individual, a monster in the eyes of society, who caused them such pain as is discribed in this story, knowing that God loves this person who's praying, but also knowing God loves this person they're wanting damned, that brings things into clear focus for me now. We're all God's children. Whether we accept Him or not, does not change the fact that He loves us all the same and it breaks His heart each time one of His little ones opens their eyes in hell.
You will grow to love God more through the journey you take with Mack in this wonderful book. But more importantly, you will better understand the love God has for you, and each of us He created. God Bless you!
Shack Therapy August 29, 2008
Although fiction I loved this book. It reminded me how much God/Papa loves me in a very real way. It touched my heart in so many ways with the possible
scenarios and I felt lined up with the Bible in how God,Jesus and the Holy Spirit work. I cried as the book revealed how much we are loved. It ministered to me because I have mostly only known painful love. It is not
about what color or that in the book God was a woman, it was the message
it sent to me that GOD IS LOVE!!!!
