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!

 Great Book October 6, 2008
Vanessa Dixon (Atlantic Beach, NC USA)
This fictional tale gives a new way of explaining theological issues. It is well written and does not condesend. The plot and the characters are interesting. It could be a good opener to Christianity for non-believers.
Awesome book! October 6, 2008
K. Garrett (Georgia)
I would recommend this book to everyone.
You should order more than one book - you are going
to want to give it to friends to read.
Very thought provoking book.
So loved...... October 6, 2008
Bea Three (Indianapolis, IN USA)
I was hooked from the introduction of God to the very last words. Having been raised in the South, there is no more loving figure to me than "Papa". I could feel the emotions pulsating in the initial meeting between Papa and Mack. I have been there! I understood that feeling of being lost and unable to cope. However, as the journey began in earnest, I walked this path with Mack. I felt loved again! I will definitely read this again and again.
I ordered 15 copies for my book club and special friends. It is a message everyone should hear, over and over again.
Fiction Revealing Truth October 6, 2008
Paul C. Stock
This work can lead you into greater intimacy with God if you look for truth and don't stumble over how that truth is presented. God is totally other - not just the good qualities you see in a man magnified to the nth degree. Look for the truth about God (reflected in scripture) that is presented in the three characters who represent the Trinity. The truth is that God desires an intimate relationship with His people - friendship with God. He is holy and just and the Law is the standard but for those who come to Him through Jesus Christ He is gracious and loving and desires to bless you more than you can imagine. No book that presents God (apart from the Bible) will be 100% accurate. "Test everything. Hold on to the good. (1 Thessalonians 5:21)
