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!

while its not theology August 28, 2008
richard poon (tn usa)
i am in the process of reading this book and i have found it very good. while its not exact theology, i do not think its intended to be. i think sometimes its easy to sift books like these through our own theological lenses. its easy but not always right,even though we may think we are. i noticed a few opinions questioned the writers inclusivism of other religions as being a road to God. when i got to that passage it said some "were" buddist,muslim,etc. i think the key word there was "were". the writer did not say God said "are" these other religions. so i think we must be careful not to make a fictional book pass such muster as to whether it squares entirely with the bible. many are the people who worship the bible and think they are worshipping God. its an easy thing to do. still, a great book that gets you to thinking about God and where he is or isn't in our lives

Sentimental story carries the theology through August 28, 2008
Brent Green (Kansas City, Kansas)
This book is essentially a theological message, one that diverges a bit from orthodox Christianity. And that's okay, and that's probably part of the attraction so many have found in this book. However, by itself, I doubt many persons would have read this theological treatise, myself included, and would have given it a poor rating. However, encapsulated in the sentimental story of the abducted and murdered girl, whatever theology would have been put inside would probably have worked, and hence my high rating.

Healing and Inspiring August 27, 2008
S. Martin (Colorado)
I loved how the author so clearly depicted the heart of God. Don't get stuck on 'theology' with this one. It's not about right and wrong...it's about the heartbeat of God for each of us and it's only , in knowing God in this personal of a way that our hunger to connect with our Maker can be satisfied.Susie M.

Overcome your skepticism and read it -- it's wonderful August 27, 2008
Caravaggiosnose (San Francisco)
I approached this book with deep skepticism, thinking it would be a sobby, heart-on-sleeve, book club Oprah-popular religious testimonial which would undoubtedly suffer from poor writing and inconsistent logic. Not the ideal receptive audience, I admit. Nonetheless, I picked it up and read it on my brother-in-law's recommendation, and I ended up in tears halfway through. I am not normally a big softie; I don't like feel-good movies or books; I don't read romance novels or watch soap operas; I am not an evangelist. I distrust organizations of all kinds, including (if not especially) religious organizations. So I was taken aback to be so affected by this book. Obviously, it won't appeal to doctrinairians, but it's not meant to. It's more like an emotional stab to the soul which proposes to wake you up to the spirituality all around you and let you return to belief in Christ (and God) as an original moving force in your everyday life.
