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!

 Christian fiction at its best August 21, 2008
This is a life changing book. I talked to God today in prayer unlike anytime in recent years due to this book. It is interesting, thought provoking, and well written. It may change your life too.
Powerful and encouraging August 20, 2008
I've always had this sense that when we get to heaven God is going to embrace and love us, and then shake his head and say, "Wow - you sure went off on some strange tangents and made mountains out of molehills." I believe the "controversy" over this book will fall into that category.
This book provides a view of God, and his love for us, in a fresh way that touched me in a unique way. It gave me such a vivid example of how God loves me - just as I am TODAY - that I have renewed strength and commitment. There is nothing in the book that contradicts the Bible that I have studied and loved for years. Read it with an open mind and heart - and be prepared to be different when you finish the book than when you started.
The Shack Surprises August 20, 2008
"The Shack" stretched my mind in terms of how I view God. Portraying the author's views of God in the form of fiction allowed me to get emotionally involved in the process. This is a book that I dog-eared in order to return to thoughts that I want to reconsider or remember. It's a book that I want to keep for myself. I'll purchase copies for others!
This book will change your life! August 20, 2008
My church had a book study for this book so I decided to get it since it was reccomended by our pastor. Wow was I in for a surprise! This is a very movie book and you really get to know the main characer Mackenzie well. You even get to know "god" well when reading this. Mackenzie is a married man who loses his daughter Missy when on a camping trip. She ends up getting killed and a year later gets a note from a mysterious person on his door step. It asks him to come up to the shack, the same shack where Missy was killed. Why would he want to go back there? Was this a practical joke? I was very moved by his encounter with God and a few of his "friends" at the shack. Sorry for giving you spoilers but this book really is life-changing. It is very philisophical. If you are a Christian like me you will have a good time reading this beacuse it says the truth about God and how He works. If you are not Christian you may think it's just another fictional book. Even if you are not Christian or believe in God you should still consider this moving book. It can be moving even if you are not religious. This has definately been one of the best purchases I made so far.
 Absolute Fiction, Little Truth August 20, 2008
This book is well written, easy to read and will entertain you purely on a fictional level, but it holds little to no truth according to what the Bible tells us. My suggestion to all Christians who decide to read this book is to make sure you know the bible first and then you will know when the book is not in line with what God teaches us.
