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!

the shack, 2010-03-11
the book came before it was due to arrive. it was in great shape no complaints at all. very happy.
Popularity doesn't necessarily equal quality., 2010-03-11
I disliked the book from the start but it was assigned by my book club, so I tried to get through it. However, after "the father, son, and holy ghost" showed up in the shack, I threw the book down. Not because it offended me for theological reasons (After all, I liked the TV series "Joan of Arcadia," in which God showed up in several surprising desguises) but because the scene, like all those before it, bored me to tears.
The writing is juvenile, and the author reaches for the most obvious image, phrase, and dialogue. With so many well-written books with spiritual themes out there, why would anyone waste his time reading dreck like this?
Make friends with the staff of your local library; they'll help you find something worthy of your time and effort.

DON'T READ THE INTRODUCTION.
Often I find myself reading more about a book beforehand than I do actually reading the book. This was not the case with "The Shack". I knew very little about the piece, save that it held great prominence within many Christian circles; of which, the general consensus was that the book was life-changing.
Naturally a skeptic, I endeavored to read it after it had been passed along to me from someone who had received it from someone, etc. and so forth. Needless to say, the blank page of perception I had for the book in the outset was perhaps the most fundamental portion to making the book fantastic.
In every way "The Shack" challenged my heart, my views towards God, forgiveness and others. It brilliantly displays the love of God so emphatically that the reader can hardly resist the candor with which it was written. I found myself over and over convicted and gripped by the story the author conveys. Most of all I assure you, you will not be disappointed with where it leads. By all accounts it was one of the most powerfully written books I have ever read.
kind of silly, 2010-03-12
poorly written. weak story. bad theology. no answers to the question of suffering. nothing radical. over simplification.
The Shack, 2010-03-10
I dont know why they call this book a thriller. It is more of a feel good religious story. It was an okay read but I definitely would not categorize it as a thriller.
