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!

 Concerned October 14, 2008
While the book is well written and grabs your interest, I am concerned about the subtle things that lead away from the Bible.
 Just In Time October 14, 2008
I had never heard of this book. My sister emailed me and said I MUST go get this book to read. I did and read it in two days. I read it while I fried bacon for my families breakfast, I read it in line at the drive through, I read it while waiting for a prescription and while I read it I wept, laughed and felt a release of a burden I had not realized was there. I had hints of it, ideas flashed through my mind at times, thoughts swizzed by during prayer, but never something I could put to words, something I could put my finger on. Never until now.
I have read the other reviews of this book and the points that some make about the accuracy comparing to scripture. Very valid points. However the conversations that Mac had with God about redemption and forgiveness and then with Jesus about the idea of His Bride, His Church revealed something in my spirit and ignited something in me that has been asleep for too long.
The amazing journey into God's heart October 14, 2008
WOW! Words cannot describe the way I am feeling after just finishing the book a few days ago. I am still mesmerized with all the characters, more importantly with God, Jesus and Holy Spirit! I have been a Christian for the last 5 years and have been through several Bible courses and am considered as a mature Christian at the moment but this book just brought me into a new level to undertsand love and grace!
I truly believe that I was let to read this book by supernatural guidance of God through supernatural events happened around me. In a couple of dreams and visions I even saw parts of the book which I did not own. God has been talking to me regarding His unconditional love for the last few months and I was having a hard time to understand it.I truly believe in my heart that this book is a great work of God to reveal Himself to us as how we should be communing with Him! So much peace, joy, love and happiness entered into my life suddenly after reading this book! I feel a lot lighter like a new person! My prayer life and communication with God is also elevated to a higher better level that effects the rest of my life in an amazing way! Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ, for raising up brave people like William Paul Young to get us understand you better and better!
The Shack Review October 14, 2008
This was an excellent book. Opens the mind to let God out of the box we tend to put Him in.
 The Shame of the Shack October 14, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The author builds his own pulpit and holds forth from it upon creation. He succeeds in reducing all of human history into an overnight stay with an "Aunt Jemimah" figure, a Hebrew from the House of Judah, and a collection of colored lights in a cabin in the woods.
Tragedy does not confront eternity as claimed on the book cover. What is accomplished is a poorly written imaginary description of one man's misery confronting that same man's faith. These concepts have been explored before and will be again by men and women who are better writers. Thank God.
