Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
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!

• I Cannot Believe I Actually Read This!
17 March, 2010
I am sorry - other reviews are so glowing - but I hated this book - and cannot believe I finished reading it - I should have stopped midway throught when it started to annoy me.
Annoying - is the best thing I can say about it - I thought most of it was drivel - and I was thoroughly and most definitely depressed when i turned the final pages.

• Making You Think Outside The Box
19 March, 2010
This is such a well written and thought provoking novel. I enjoyed every second of it and it made me think long and hard about God and what kind of man made rituals and concepts are just installed in us while growing up. I think everyone should read this book once.

• Restoration/transformation Through Tragedy
19 March, 2010
I received this book as a Christmas gift in 2008. The guy who gave it to me was moved deeply by it. It sat on my bookshelf for quite a while until I picked it up. It took me a while to do so because I thought it would be just an ordinary fictionalized account of a christian guy's struggle with tragedy. While it was just that, the writer does a good job conveying the message that God truly does work in "mysterious ways." Is that a convenient way to deal with tragedy and to seek false comfort? Maybe, maybe not. But what's for sure is that faith in a higher power surely provides a perspective that helps ease the pains of life. Why did the daughter have to die, and so tragically?? Why does anyone have to die? At the end of our questions, we find God in whom/which we can place our questions and look to for hope and strength. That's what this book is about. Finding hope and transformation/restoration through tragedy.

• Intriging
19 March, 2010
After reading The Shack, I certainly had alot to think about. This book gives the reader another view on forgiving one self for past mistakes, and forgiving other. The book drew me in from the very beginning, I even read the preface , which I rarely do, and I glad I did, because I would have missed some very important points of the book. I enjoyed it so much I purchased several other copies for family and friends to read.

• Insightful
18 March, 2010
This book is amazing! So insightful...really makes you think. Although some of the chapters, events, statements may not totally agree with your religious doctrines, the goal of the book is this: GOD IS LOVE. What better message? I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will read it again and again for inspiration, hope and faith. I recommned it to every one I know.
