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!




Rating: - Great Reading
The Shack is a must read in my opinion. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down until I finished. It helped me to understand functions of the Trinity much better.

I highly recommend this book.

Rating: - Book Group Read and Reviewed
Wow, is this book hot or what? It seems everywhere I go, people are reading this book. I feel blessed that my book group chose to read this book at this time and have such a stirring discussion; with so many people reading this book, I feel better equipped to discuss this book with Christians and non-Christians alike.

Rating: - Touching, but Far Short of Biblical Truth
This book is touching in its message, but is far short of Biblical truth. The author with great talent weaves a compelling tale about loss, pain, forgiveness and renewal, but in the process departs radically from other Scriptural principles. I was touched by the theme of the book which is experiencing forgiveness. I was saddened however, by the absence of other Biblical concepts, including God's transcendence and majesty. God in three persons has been reduced to two common women and a man.

Rating: - Amazing book
One of the most amazing books I've ever read (and I rarely read fiction). When my wife and I finished the book, we ordered 12 more (to give away to people)....WOW!!

Rating: - Thought provoking
This is the best, most thought provoking book I've read in a long time. In many ways it may rub pople the wrong way in the same way that Shane Clayboune's "Irresistable Revolution" did, in that it might lead you to question aspects of religion or think about it differently.

I think it's important for Christians to also be critical thinkers, and this book as an interesting work of fiction will probably cause you to give some thought to areas of your life you might not have otherwise.
