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!

 Recomending it to a lot of my friends October 15, 2008
I couldn't put it down. It is the only book on dating worth having. It gave me heaps of confidence and a renewed belief in women. I have always loved them, but now I have the confidence to approach them and show them that I do.
Question of How I precieve God October 15, 2008
This book spoke to me of the love of God and put questions in my thinking of HOW DO I Think of God. I also thought about how do I make judgements. I have always wanted to judge with mercy so that I will be judged in the same way. I have not questioned God for the tradedies that occured in my life because I knew that as thinking as a human, I could never understand. As I have lived more years it is easier to accept that God is love and knows how to carry us through this life.
A must read October 15, 2008
By far, this is the best book I have ever read. I laughed, I cried, I rejoiced! It will bring a peace to your life that you have never experienced. I think that depending on where you are in your spiritual walk with God and where you are struggling in your own life, this book can be read over and over and something new will jump off the pages to heal you. I can't wait to read it again.
The Shack October 15, 2008
This book is life changing! As we have been taught, God wants a personal relationship with us. It is that simple. I know that many people have had a hard time with the characterization, that is not the importance of the book, the story is. I read the book and reread it again. I have purchased several copies for gifts also. It is an awesome book.
A 21st Century Screwtape like novel October 15, 2008
I devoured most of C.S. Lewis's works in the late eighties and began teaching classes on Mere Christianity, Narnia, Screwtape, and the Great Divorce. I beleive that the Shack does a wonderful job of covering basic tenets and complex theology in a simple and compelling fictional work. The question to Jesus, "there are many roads to you" is answered in a way that is clear and I beleive correct. Screwtape does not flow as smoothly as The Shack but both convey the complex theology in a simple and thorough manner. I commend this book to you.
