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!

This book is fairly openly a presentation of orthodox biblical, systematic theology in the form of an unorthodox, fascinating story. (As long as the readers do not stumble over the characterizations of the three persons of the Trinity, which make for stimulaing thought and conversation too!). As I was reading this story, I identified each topic and noted it on the top of each page for easy reference. The story could be used as a stimulating tool for a great small group Bible study for teens and above. Maybe a study guide will be developed in the near future.
Inspirational, thought provoking. November 19, 2008
I absolutely loved this book. The way the book ended was unexpected, because of the way the story drew you in. Until you read the book that might not make sence. But I highly recomend you read it to see for yourselves. The book really draws out your emotions, I felt joy to the point of laughing out loud and sadness to the point of tears. The tragedy was a hard one to swallow. Because of the emotions something like this invokes you really get the idea as to how God our Father really loves us.

this book was a colossal waste of time. the story was convoluted, overly melodramatic, the "real" parts were unrealistic, boarding on sappy, and the allegorical parts were trite. as someone who needs some help with my own "great sadness"--this book was unsatisfying...

The book entitled "The Shack" was never received nor was any response to my email ever received. I await payment from Amazon.

I enjoyed this book very much. It was recommended to me and I have further recommended it to friends. I probably will purchase a few copies to give as gifts. I was touched by the story, very comfortable with the way our Father, Son & Holy Spirit were portrayed, and my faith was lifted by the explanations of the work of our Lord and our part in it. I think it might help strengthen the faith of many people.
