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: - Good Golly! Aunt Jehmima!
I give my wife 5 stars for getting me this book. It was a sweet jesture. But I am sure she will not be happy when my head explodes from me reading all of these theological reviews. I THINK I know what the author wanted to get across while writing The Shack, but I am curious if the heat worked alright in the '69 Volkeswagon Van he wrote it in? Cheap attempt at a metaphore for his brain when he takes scriptural ideas from the HOLY bible and interprets it into his book to make the story flow. Sorry... ... Read More

Rating: - The Shack- A Good Message for ALL
After much arm-twisting, a friend of mine finally convinced me to read William Paul Young's The Shack. My passion for reading having been on hold for well over a decade now, I'm quite surprised that I not only finished the book, but that I did so in just four days. What may be even more important to note is that I am not at all a religious person, which is why I find myself in disbelief at the fact that I have been all-but-completely consumed in a #1 New York Times Bestseller that owes its great success ...

Rating: - Part of you "journey" reading...
As a psychotherapist, I find people on various parts of their journey. The story line of this book may deeply sadden you, but their is a clarity of the actual relationship God has with father in this book that is not to be missed. As the "Catholic" kid growing up, the Trinity was not something that I clearly grasped after 12 years of parochial school... The description of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit and how they are together as one...but separate...is the best and clearest I have known. Why did Jesus ... Read More

Rating: - stay out of "the shack"
(((( if you're planning to read this book, then be careful how far you go because i'm going to give away some info that you might not want to know)))))

the premise of "the shack," by william paul young, is truly frightening, especially to anyone with children. i have two girls, and when i glanced at the blurb on the book cover, i did not think i could read it without either crying or personalizing the experience.

"mac," a nickname that's about as trite as you can get, and his family ... Read More

Rating: - The Shack by William P. Young
Reading this book is akin to going on a pilgrimage, only with more drama packed in than the average pilgrim would experience! I emerge from "The Shack" with such a "wow" feeling, I know this has been life-changing. The story is gripping, and the characterisation totally original and off the wall. How can you see God as....well, I don't want to spoil the story. The writer certainly has courage, to tackle subjects which are almost taboo, and to carry it off without a hitch. I am left hungry for more. But that is now ... Read More
