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!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - After reading the first page I knew the critics would be swarming...
After reading the first page I knew that the critics would be swarming. The fresh approach to the dilemma of pain and the revolutionary way of presenting God as present with us, was an invitation to those who desire to reduce God to the dimensions of our physical reality and traditional understanding to join the critics. So be it!

I am a theologian, or so my certificates tell me, yet I share a disillusionment with the context we have created for God in the church of today and suspect ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Spiritual Perspective
I very much enjoyed reading The Shack. The story of Missy's abduction is disturbing. Even more disturbing, however, is the process of surrender that Mack works through as he connects with spirit. I am a christian cultured individual with no real religous upbringing/education. I do not know the trinity (Father, Son and Holy Ghost) the way others brought up in christian religion might. William Young did a great job of helping me connect to this triad of spirit without my feeling inadequate due to no ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wonderful and thought-provoking book
The Shack is a most wonderful book, thought-provoking, and full of wonder. You will cry one minute from the tenderness shown and laugh the next. Your heart will wrench then sing. Your emotions will run from one end of the scale to the other. It is one of the best books I've ever read and I am a better person for reading it.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Meh
This book is downright silly. I felt like I was reading a deleted scene from the matrix with never ending dialogue between Neo and the Oracle. Only without the cool action sequences.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Bible Teacher's Review
I teach advanced Bible studies to intelligent, accomplished adults and am usually highly suspicious of books with Biblical themes, especially those built around fiction. But this reviewer is happy to qualify my five-star rating thus: This is outstanding reformed trinitarian theology. There are a few inconsequential unbiblical fillips tossed in here and there but they do not ruin the basics of Biblical truth, the important lessons therein.

True, God The Father is not a black woman named ... Read More
