The Shack

by William P Young

The Shack Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

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!

This story is one that brings you face to face with tragedy, loss, longing, depression, seeking God in the midst and the need to find closure. As you read, you become a part of the story with the main character, face his demons and questions with him. You discover much about yourself in reading this story and in the journey he takes into the woods to 'the shack'...it is an amazing story, sad, enlightening and you'll rethink your entire outlook on life, death and God.
