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!

 MacKenzie Phillips? December 3, 2008
Yes, the book is a very readable but misleading parable selling misguided theology. But I just could NOT get around flashbacks to the seventies every time I read the lead charater's name, the teen actress from "One Day at a Time!"
Where was Schneider? Did he build the shack?
 Wonderful book, quick read December 2, 2008
I loved this book. This is the God that we all instinctively know is the real deal. Although this is fiction and just one person's story the message is pure and honest. I know this may be challenging to people that see the Bible as the only true word of God. At first I wanted to send this to all of my friends and family, but then realized that they may not want to "see" God in this informal way.
The plot moves along quickly and you are not disappointed.
GREAT BOOK ! December 2, 2008

Excellent!!!...Spellbinding...a must read for all who have encountered a personal tragedy and are left with the great "Why" question. A thought provoking perspective on the personhood ,gender etc of God.Must be read a second time to glean all the literay morsels left by the wayside in your initial reading...Enjoy
