The Shack
The pain in this novel is that 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, ostensibly from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend.
Against his better judgement he arrives at the shack on a wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare.
Incredibly well written and with many literary qualities this book is a must read.
Already causing a stir, this is a book people should read before making their own judgement.
"When the imagination of a writer and the passion of a theologian cross-fertilize the result is a novel of the order of The Shack." - Eugene Peterson, author of The Message.

Average rating of 4.6 / 5 from 5 reviews.
A really good read - Fran, a secretary in West Yorkshire
The Shack will help you to see God differently, get a new insight into his character and to forgive yourself & others.
Really good Christian fiction - Pam
At last a Christian novel that is beautifully written, with a story line that will stretch you. There is much to learn from this book and much to challenge our preconceptions. I understand there has been controversy in the States about the depiction of God in this book - but accept it for what it is - fiction - and you will gain much by the reading of it.
Knowing Him - Elizabeth, a full time mum from Havant
This book has helped me to see and know the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit with different eyes. We presume to 'know' about God, yet this book actually makes you realise that there is so much of Him that we don't know - my relationship with Him has become deeper because of reading this.
Powerful reading - A church leader from London
Young presents a refreshing aspect of God which could heal many who deem Him as an old, insensative, judgmental, mean tyrant with a big stick-divorced from our pain and in some cases, causing it. Despite some awkward sentences and obvious theological loopholes, the work is riveting. I love the message of forgiveness which I believe is a universal problem with most people-save and unsaved alike. It is FICTION- so that covers the many Biblical misinterpretations- and is vastly creative. Young really kicks down our sacred cows in this work.
Worth the Read - Jan, in church leadership in Leicestershire.
A little overwritten in the beginning, but never the less a gripping read that will bring both laughter and tears. It must be good, I've read it twice and will read it again. I can understand the furore of those who forget it is a novel. It challenges our preconceptions of God and encourages us to knock down our belief that we fully understand and 'box' God who has thoughts and ways that are high above our own.
