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!

 Hated It! November 24, 2009
J. McClelland (California, USA)
When I bought this book at the airport, honestly all I read was murder (ahh, great murder mystery) and best-seller. I had no idea it was about to take me on an adventure through spirituality and a belief (or not) with God. Had I known, um, I would have passed! Frankly, I found this book really really bad.
 LOVEDDDDD THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! November 23, 2009

I absolutely am IN LOVE with this book. I consider myself to have a "close" relationship with God, but I shy away from "religion". Reading this book was not only heart wrenching, warming and thoughtful, it really has made me FEEL closer to God, and yearn for a closer relationship with him. It really broke down how God would feel about us, and how much love and compassion GOD has for us. I reccommend this book to everyone, and I was always will. There are no words to describe how much I care about this book. I just finished, and im debating re-reading it again!!!

I was really disappointed because I'd heard such great things about this book. But it was so dull I could not even force myself to finish it, and that is very unusual for me. I found it slow, boring, and preachy.

Anyone who calls themselves a Christian should read this book, it is an excellent book and so wonderfully full of trurhs. It says that it is a work of fiction but I really wonder.

This book is about forgiveness and redemption. It presents a view of God and the Trinity in a very different way, which I found quite delightful and interesting. I read it through fast intitially for the story and to get a feeling for the meaning, then again for a better understanding of the content which I found very deep.
I enjoyed the book immensely.
