Review
"The Shack" is a one of a kind invitation to journey to
the very heart of God. Through my tears and cheers, I
have been indeed transformed by the tender mercy with
which William Paul Young opened the veil that too often
separated me from God and from myself. With every page,
the complicated do's and don't that distort a
relationship into a religion were washed away as I
understood Father, Son and Holy Spirit for the first
time in my life. --Patrick M. Roddy, ABC News Emmy Award
winning producer
Finally! A guy-meets-God Novel that has literary
integrity and spiritual daring. "The Shack" cuts through
the cliches of both religion and bad writing to reveal
something compelling and beautiful about life's integral
dance with the Divine. This story reads like a
prayer--like the best kind of prayer, filled with sweat
and wonder and transparency and surprise. When I read
it, I felt like I was fellowshipping with God. If you
read one work of fiction this year, let this be it.
--Mike Morrell, zoecarnate.com
When the imagination of a writer and the passion of a
theologian cross-fertilize the result is a novel on the
order of "The Shack." This book has the potential to do
for our generation what John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's
Progress" did for his. It's that good! --Eugene
Peterson, Professor Emeritus of Spiritual Theology,
Regent College, Vancouver, B.C.
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!
