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!
Thought provokingSeptember 5, 2008 "The Shack" is a challenging, thought-provoking book. A man who has experienced a very tragic situation is invited by God to return to the place of the tragedy. Almost against his will, he is drawn back to the scene, where God shows up. The reader is not only drawn into the plot itself, but into expanding his understanding of the three Persons of the Godhead, their love and unity and relationship with each other and with the questioning believer. Wonderful, deep, emotional, and riveting after the first chapter or so.
An absolutely stunning work of "fiction"September 5, 2008 The reason I put the word fiction in quotes is because this book is all too real. There is a Willie and a Mack in all of us. "The Shack" opens the way to the conversations we are too scared, bitter or frustrated to have, and sheds the light of redemption upon the weary and skeptical all at the same time.
This book has really changed me in a positive way. It has changed the way I look at God, relate to God; my devotion and relationship with the Father is richer because of it. An amazing account of God's love, this book is a must read.
The Shack by William P Young will change your lifeSeptember 4, 2008 I have never read a book that has made such a difference in my life. The author is able to bring you to such a new level of belief and understanding of the Holy Trinity beyond anything I have ever experienced. Having lost a child myself, I felt that the author understood that devastation of the loss, while also answering some very hard questions that I had about why God had allowed my child to die. I believe that anyone who reads this book will find themselves moved to laughter and tears as Mr. Young brings you into his story that is so well written, it's hard to believe that it's fictional. Thank You, a million times over for this book, Mr. Young!

We already knew about the book called The Shack, which is why we ordered more copies. It is an awesome book written to touch the heart of anyone reading it. It is also a great tool to reach those who are hungry spiritually and seeking truth about God and his awesome love and mercy. It is the kind of book you don't want to put down until you've read it all!
The TrinitySeptember 4, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I once was scrolling through one of the many books about J.R.R. Tolkien, and in a letter written to one of his friends, he is quoted as having said" unless one understands the Trinity, they will not understand The Lord of the Rings" This book is a wonderful introduction to The Trinity, (God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit)for those who have never understood "HIM", and a Delightful Reminder to those that believe they do. The "Picture" of The New Earth was especially Splendid!!! Read this book with a heart wide open, and at it's conclusion find it Filled!!, diane stroman
