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 int he Oregon wilderness. Four years later in the midst of his Great Sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, ostensibly 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 and quite possibly your own.
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!

Whenthe imagination of a writer and the passion of a theologiancross-fertilize the result is a novel on the order of The Shack. Thisbook has the potential to do for our generation what John Bunyan’sPilgrim’s Progress did for his. It’s that good!

Anexceptional piece of writing that ushers you directly into the heartand nature of God in the midst of agonizing human suffering. Thisamazing story will challenge you to consider the person and the plan ofGod in more expansive terms than you may have ever dreamed.
