Description:
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.

Customer Reviews
We bought the book for everyone in our family and for our close friends. It was an absolute success. We cautioned others to work through chapters 1-5 and things would become clearer after that. Everyone has loved the book. A friend recommended the book on cd. I am only to chapter 3 and I can't really give an honest review regarding how the reader does with the voices and tone of the book. However, I am sure it will be great. This book opened my eyes on being judgemental of others and focused our family on the business of loving others.
