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!

 Not impressed November 23, 2008
Having read the Book - The Shack - I have to admit that I was disappointed.
After all of the hype concerning the fresh new approach I found the book to be a thinly veiled rehash of Catholic Doctrine. Mush of the content - whether you call it a parable or just pure fiction - was aimed at shoring up Faith Traditions that belong in the Middle ages not in the 21st century.
I am no longer a devout follower. I am what some have called an alumni of the institutional Church.
What this book didn't do for me was to inspire me or encourage me. As a retired ordained Minister of the Methodist Denomination I feel the Institutional Church is grasping at straws. This book is one more example of that grasping.The Shack
 SERVICE WAS NOT GOOD November 23, 2008
I ordered this book 10/1/08. I have never received it and have written 3 emails with no response.
Very poor service!

The Shack- a work of fiction November 23, 2008
I enjoyed the book. Just remembering it is fiction. God is not a woman and HE doesn't talk like a southern woman. Jesus was GodMan not a man with no purpose. The Holy Spirit is a comforter and sent to us while we tarry for the LORD. If you remember that, you will be ok with reading it.
 The Shack by William Young November 23, 2008
I had heard about this book from a friend who said that it will greatly affect me after I read it. So, I had to check it out. Once I started reading, I found it very hard to put down and felt the emotion and intensity of every move. The book is really well worth the read and I do hope there will one day be a movie out. If you are looking for something to make you spiritually think and feel, then this one is a must read.
AMAZING November 23, 2008
First my wife read "THE SHACK" and insisted that I should also read this book. I am about half way through, and the title of this review tells the whole story. The first part is involved and not the easiest to read and comprehend, but once you reach that certain point - what this author had done is AMAZING !!! This is a book for EVERYONE. PLEASE DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY.
