A grieving father receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him to meet in the Oregon wilderness where his daughter has been abducted and murdered. 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?" Windblown Media
 
Annotation:
Written by the son of missionaries for his own children, THE SHACK has become an unforeseen bestseller. Riding a wave of both rapturous word-of-mouth praise and sharp criticism, it has become a significant novel in the Christian community. The premise is simple and powerful, like a tale from the Bible itself: Mackenzie Phillips, a former seminary student, is crippled with grief over the brutal abduction and murder of his young daughter four years ago. When he receives a summons to the mountain shack where his daughter was killed, he is suspicious, but eventually discovers that he has been called to a private meeting with God, with each part of the Holy Trinity appearing in different guises. Author William P. Young uses novelistic devices to make Christian values easily understood and, more significantly, deeply felt. However, his book has stirred up controversy in its casual and modernized depiction of God, and Young's occasional disregard for Church orthodoxy.

5 of 5 The Shack was awesome!! Saturday, December 13, 2008
JB from Indianapolis, IN  

The Shack was a very refreshing book. It kept my attention and was hard to not think about during the day. It keeps your interest from the first page to the last.

5 of 5 A Literary Masterpiece Friday, November 07, 2008
Richard from Port Angeles, WA  
The most 'meaningful' book I have ever read! Perhaps not the best from a purely technical writing aspect, but an unusual and poignant story!

5 of 5 LIFE IMPACTING Friday, August 29, 2008
connie from Beverly, Ma.  
Presents the Trinity in a down to earth, where I live level -brings all 3 into the reality of my life here on earth - they each love me and interact with me. The story in and of itself is powerful, tragedy turned into the beauty of the father's life 'after' his encounter with the Trinity. A must read and reread and reread - with your highlighter in hand!!

5 of 5 Reveals the truth of who God really is Sunday, August 24, 2008
Donna from Kenner, La  
This book has impacted me and my relationship with God so I bought 5 books from Buy.com to give to friends and family. My copy was given to me as a gift. What is so great about this book is that it answers questions that we all wonder about God's character like 'if God is a loving God why would He allow this to happen.' It displays His true character that our world has distorted. My relationship with God has forever changed and each day I am amazed at His unconditional love for me and all of His creation.

5 of 5 Everyone should read this book! Friday, August 22, 2008
deetrow from Mabank, Texas  
I heard about this book on the God Journey as Wayne and Brad talked so often about how it came to be. I am so glad that a publisher came forward and decided to publish it. I am not done with it yet but so far I think it is terrific. I think outside the box as far as religion is concerned. You can still be a good Christian without being a part of a structured church. You don't have to be inside a church for God to see you and be a part of your life. So far, that is what I am seeing in this book. It is controversial but so worth reading! I can't to see where it goes. My son and daughter-in-law loved it!

5 of 5 An Incredible Read Wednesday, June 18, 2008
A Reader from Tacoma, WA  
Although this is only a novel, it is an incredibly powerful read, dealing with the real issues we all face, "Where is God in the midst of our tragedy?". I couldn't recommend it any more highly.

gitmofish from Jacksonville, FL  
This book is unbelievable! It has so much insight; it was like reading Revelations, but for the hear and now. I'm getting 10 more to give away now and I'll get more when I run out of those. This is one book everyone needs to read.

5 of 5 A life changing book Thursday, February 28, 2008
A Reader from Henning, TN  
This is the third order I'm placing because I just have to give one to everyone!! It's hard to explain how important this book is in a world full of hurt and questions about its source as well as our place in this world. You will never regret reading this book and I challenge you to read it just once!!
