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!

 Nice story July 6, 2008
I've read alot of the reviews for this book and I would just like to say its a story, not scripture. My hope for this book is that someone who does not know God will begin their journey with Him because they found this book enlightening or funny or interesting. Nothing we read outside of the Bible is a true representation of God, but may help those that have not accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour begin their journey with Him.
 This book touched me on a level nothing has in years! July 6, 2008
There are not enough beautiful words in my mind to describe this book.
I want to buy it for everyone I know. My deepest wish is that this book will become a film to touch so many more lives! I envisioned it on every level.
If all the world had this understanding of God there would be a GOD Revolution of such magnitude that the Godless would fall to their knees and beg for forgiveness.
I will re read this book and keep it as my lesson in forgiveness.
Thank you William Paul Young for writing it.
You have blessed one life for sure!

I bought this book because I thought that it was a Christian based book. I was very disappointed in it. To me it was nothing but New Age and Hinduism and I felt like it contradicted the Bible on several points.

The god which Young writes is not the self-contained God of the Bible. I fear Young does not know the one who is the dread sovereign of the universe. His god is a god he has created in his own image; after the likeness of creation. In fact, I would go so far as to say Young's god is a souped up finite god much like the false god of Mormonism. It is a shame that a scholar like Eugene Peterson would endorse this work. Christian need to be reminded of this admonition by the Apostle Paul,
"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works." II Corinthians 11:13-15
(For those of you who have itching ears and believe that The Shack is a wonderful book, the above is a quote from the Bible. You know, that Big book sitting on your top shelf with dust all over it!)
If you dare turn it's pages you will find HOPE July 6, 2008
This book should be on every coffee table in the world. I was able to draw many parallels from my own experiences.
As an author myself, I will absolutely declare that this book is superbly written in a most eloquent manner. Expressing so much in just a paragraph, that I had to pause and reflect often.
I read a lot of books each year and this one by far has rocked my world, by confirming some beliefs that I have.
It's the best explanation of Love, the Trinty and the Matrix I've ever encountered.
I've bought numerous copies to share and I'll be reading it again.
