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: - A very DANGEROUS book!!!
The Shack is a subtly packaged promo for the emergent church movement. It is filled with Biblical error and many subtle attacks on Scripture. Although IT IS FICTION, it reads as non-fiction, and Christians who are not filled with The Holy Spirit and able to discern evil packaged in The Shack are sorely deceived. Just read the hundreds of reviews on Amazon and see how many gullible people are raving about spiritual awakening, etc. after reading this absurd book. Our society, sadly including Christians, ...

Rating: - Awesome book!
"The Shack" was a wonderfully, awesome book! Very emotional but it gives a very simple description of the Trinity. So often it is difficult to understand the "3 in 1" but this book really makes the Trinity 3 people with different jobs and personalities. I think we often fail to look at it that way. I've already passed it to others to read and I will read it again very soon!
Rating: - Taking God out of our box
This book was given to me as a gift...and what a treasure it has turned out to be. Let me warn you, if your church doctrine is more important than your desire to have "spiritual eyes", you will not like this book.
However, if you know the depth of God's love and His desire to reach a lost and hurting world, and His desire to heal His people, than you will be blessed beyond measure.
I have given this book to many people and have suggested it to the same.
God is busy doing what is necessary ... Read More
Rating: - God in a tangible form...
In reading this book, for the first time ever, I have been able to imagine myself with God. - Seeing him, relating with him.
Before reading this book, whenever I pictured eternity, it was a vague sort of mental picture I had in my mind. But now, when I think of eternity, I have a more tangible, idea of what eternity might be like.
I'm not suggesting that this book is depicting what God really is, or how that relationship will be. -But I appreciate the fact that this book helped me get ... Read More
Rating: - Another Classic
If you are the fundamentalist type who's religion is anchored around a single verse here and a single verse there, then as the author puts it, this book was not written for you. Don't read it!
On the other hand if you read scripture as the rest of us do. As a relationship with the Trinity this book will literally blow you away. I found it taking me back to dark times in my life with a new understanding of where God was in all of it. It reminded me, yet again, why Jesus/God chose to die on the cross. ... Read More
