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!

 Maybe I Wasn't In the Mood... July 27, 2008
I keep reading all the wonderful reviews for "The Shack," and I keep thinking maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind when I read it. Technically speaking, I guess it's written well. But I didn't read the fine print enough to know it was a self-help book. So I ended up hating myself for making myself slog through it to the end.
I feel really bad giving this book one star. It's not a bad book if this is the kind of thing you like reading; it just wasn't what I thought it would be. Just make sure you understand it's a book about theology before you buy it.
 Inspiring!! July 26, 2008
The Shack is such an amazing book! His sense of writing is so touching that I felt so empowered after reading his book. Prayercatcher, a book by Kathy Lasseter and Kelly Hostetler is another life changing book that I love! Both are amazing reads!

A very moving story and a challenge to my belief about God,Jesus and the Holy Spirit which resulted in my greater assurance of the Trinity alive and well in my present experience. I am sharing the book with my family. I only kept wishing that the daughter could have been found and alive. But the ressurection of the saints will come someday and we will celebrate all the family members that have gone to Heaven.
The Shack July 26, 2008
I thought that this was an excellent book. I would recommend it to anyone who would like to see God in a different way.
Get it! Read it! Rejoice! July 26, 2008

At 69 and with 40 years in the Christian ministry (Lutheran) I have wrestled with the problem of theodicy (If God is good and God is love, why is there so much pain and evil in the world?) many times. I think I am aquainted with most of the arguments, none of which entirely satisfy (including Rabbi Harold Kushner's "When Bad Things Happen to Good People") Although "fiction" Young's book is by far the most satisfying among this genre, at least for me. He takes the often thick and vague words of orthodox Christianity (eg. The doctrine of the Trinity) and turns them into a story which all of us can understand and believe. Forget the issues of "inerrancy" and "literalism." When you get done, at least if you consider yourself a Christian, you'll find yourself saying, "Yes, this story is true! Now I know why I can let myself be joyful, hope-filled, loving and free."
