Publisher's summary

After his daughter's murder, a grieving father confronts God with desperate questions - and finds unexpected answers - in this riveting and deeply moving number one New York Times best seller.

When Mackenzie Allen Phillips's youngest daughter Missy is abducted during a family vacation, he remains hopeful that she'll return home. But then, he discovers evidence that she may have been brutally murdered in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness.

Four years later, in this midst of his great sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note that's supposedly from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment, he arrives on a wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change his life forever.

Incredible

I am a busy mom of three, all 4 and under and hardly have time for myself let alone to read a book! I had never heard of the book until a few months ago due to plans for the movie to release. I was told over and over again by friends that I needed to read the book before seeing the movie for multiple reason, the main one being its soooo good! So I decided to download the audio version and I am so happy I found time to listen to this amazing book!! I highly recommend it

Incredible… Life-changing…

I wish I had time to write a longer we do… Suffice to say that I have already listened to this about six times and still get something new out of it every time! Also, I was happy to find the interviews with the author in the audio version because I was having trouble getting around to reading it, so now I have a hardcopy and the audio version!

God is fun

A lot of Christian books miss out on telling us that God is a fun God. God is happy not angry. This book was beautiful with a message we should know deep in our heart. That God is nothing but kindness.

The Shack

I read The Shack in 2007 and have loved it ever since that time. This story changed the way I see my life as a believer. It touched me in a completely new way as an audio book.

Best Ever

Would you listen to The Shack again? Why?

I have listened to The Shack 5 times. . I absolutely loved this story. What a great outlook. All of the baggage I carried for years I now feel like I am truly loved and walk in the light. This gift just keeps on giving.

What did you like best about this story?

The questions it cleared up for me.

Which character – as performed by Roger Mueller – was your favorite?

I can not pick a favorite. All are amazing.

Who was the most memorable character of The Shack and why?

Mac.It's what I needed.

Any additional comments?

Highly recommend this novel. If you believe you will love it. If you have questions you will love it. If you don't believe you may when your done. If you have the baggage hopefully it will help you dump it!
