Editorial Review:

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!

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Judging God
The authors style didn't pull me in right away.
Once the main character met the Trinity things became interesting!
Young addresses some very real and tragic life issues in a different way. If the reader has ever experienced loving a child s/he will be able to easily understand the concept(s) Mr. Young delivers.
He gives his view of how God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit view organized religion which has caused quite a stir with priests and pastors (as well as many parishioners).

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Why you should give the Shack the shaft
I did not write this analysis and critique, but I wholly agree with it. Everyone who claims Christ should read it.

"The book entitled The Shack has been a marketing phenomenon among "evangelicals." Blurbs compare the Shack to Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. I am here to tell you that the hype is a bit forced. Let's do a bit of comparison, first with the book of Job, then with Bunyan, interjecting a bit of C.S. Lewis in for fun.

The Shack is the story of a man whose beautiful daughter ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book about God's Love and helps with the concept of Trinity
THE SHACK is a great book... well written, and you don't need to be a theologian to understand that this book is about the Triune God's love and forgiveness, which we should pass on to others.

I see that some people are taking exception to this book, and they seem to think that it isn't consistent with the Bible. However, since I believe that THE SHACK's key message is about love and forgiveness, I do not see any major conflicts. In the Gospels, Jesus taught us to love and forgive others. He told ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good beginning and end, muddled middle
Four years ago, Mack's little daughter was brutally murdered in a crumbling old shack. Since then, he's been consumed by The Great Sadness, which has distanced him from his wife and other children. Now Mack receives a cryptic note inviting him to the scene of the crime. Little does he know he'll come to terms with his anger and grief - and the Holy Trinity.

This book is part riveting drama and part familiar Christian philosophy. The parts about Mack's terrible childhood and the loss of his daughter ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not for me....
I read this book over the course of three days. About half-way through I started to get bored, but finished it. Nonetheless, I can understand why many people would love it. For people who aren't familiar with spiritual concepts due to not going to church or other life experiences, and they want these questions answered, this is the book for them. For people like me, who were raised in church and/or have an active spiritually-seeking mind, there's not going to be a lot in this book that knocks the socks off. None ... Read More
