Editorial Review:
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!

Unfortunately, though, this book goes to great depths to undermine the very revelation of God Himself to the world. ...the Bible somehow left his... more info

Unbelievable. You will pick up this book in the store and wonder whether it might be a murder mystery, supernatural thriller, or other faithful genre of popular literature. You will flip through it to sample dialog, perhaps an ordinary paragraph. You might do this when you pick up a book to get a taste, sort of sneak up on the author in some corner of the book he might not have spent as much time crafting as he did the first or last pages. Then you will be shocked. You will see that Jesus, that is, Jesus... more info
