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! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Check out this scenario:The book may hold a good story and show a sweet, comforting Trinity. But if you miss the point of who Jesus is, you've missed it all. So said the late Walter Martin, author of _The Kingdom of the Cults_. On page 110 of _The Shack_, Young says, "Jesus is the best way to Papa." What kind of character would make such a statement, even in fiction--only *the best,* not the only way, when Jesus claims He is the *only* way to God--in the Bible, in John 14. Young's ...

This was the BEST book I have ever read by far- next to the Bible. I will keep a copy with me always and re-read it many times. Rating:  - The ShackThis is a very good novel about grief, turning grief, suffering and depression over to God, and the healing power of forgiveness. Read only from that perspective, I have recommended this book to others. However, I have some theological reservations about the portrayal of Trinity and the need for the institutional church and the community believers. Having lost a 16-year old son in an accident, I know how important it is to have a strong community of believers to help you grieve and heal. The idea that ...

It is a life changing, paradigm shifting experience! The audio version is for those inclined not to or just too busy to sit down and read. Rating: - Relationship or theology? Sometimes you can't have both!I would rather know God than know theology. I didn't read this book to get a theology. Theologies are a dime a dozen, but there is only one God. I thought this novel focused any reader willing to see Him on the living God who desires all men to come to a saving knowledge of Himself. Some scripture is hard to understand (or, at least, Peter thought so). This story carefully explicated some of that difficult scripture in a way that many can understand beautifully.
