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.
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!

An outstanding learning resource in story form

The Shack is a fast read, in story format. For a relatively new Christian, I was riveted. It is the best explanation of the Trinity I have been given; it provided an understanding that I could grasp and hold onto days, weeks later. In the past my understanding of the Trinity was fleeting. The Holy Spirit was the most difficult concept and now I get it. This story teaches us about God’s love, and forgiveness and how to live in relationship relationship as a verb with each other. Most importantly, the Shack shows us how to be in relationship with God the Father, the Son and Holy Ghost. It is the clearest deion I have been given of what He had intended for us, in terms of how to live.
