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.

The Pastor loved it! November 22, 2008 "The Shack" isn't the Bible, but it is far above the George Burns "Oh God" portrayal. The CD I bought was a gift to a Pastor. They can be busy men or women when they are true servants of God, so this item was well received. It is a way to reconsider the deeper questions that a thinking person will confront in daily life. Are there any answers out there? The scene with the judge was especially poignant to me, as I read the book. I'm sure those who read or listen to it will enjoy it, as well. I don't think it is intended as an evangelistic tool, though it could possibly serve that purpose, so be a little discriminating in the choice of recipient. Karen B from SD

The Shack was a truly inspiring book and could be read many times and glean something more each time.
The Shack November 22, 2008 Many of my friends really enjoyed this book. I got half way through it and just couldn't get into the story. I just couldn't grasp the authors concept of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I didn't finish reading the book.
God...not just for Christians anymore!!!!! November 22, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
After having God (in a Christian context) used as an excuse for sexual, emotional and physical abuse of my sibling and myself, it has taken me years to form a relationship with the Divine that makes sense to me. More folks need to be challenged to step out of the thorny box that modern day christianity places them in. We need spirituality, not doctrine wrapped up in snowy white garments meant to make us into well mannered, reasonably odor free religious consumers. "Remember, Jesus loves a giver," so if you find this material offensive, run back to your congregation, dig deep into your wallet or pocketbook and get busy purchasing a sense of serenity and security. If you are up to accepting a broader and yes, more spiritual point of view, then read this book.
