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.

Life changing!

A much needed reminder - God loves me! This audio book made me feel like I was there with Mac. I cried with him, for him, and for me. I associated with a lot of his views, especially 'emotions'.

Not only will I recommend this book to everyone, I need to listen to it again and again.

Not a true story yet truth

I enjoyed this storyline and even though it's fiction, the author does a wonderful job depicting the processes that God so faithfully and patiently walks us through for the benefit of our healing and wholeness. The reader of this audiobook did a great job brining the story to life. Great read! I can't imagine how a movie could capture the essence of each character and the overall story, but I look forward to it.

This Book Will Change Your Life

This story sets the hook quickly. Then it sets another one deeply in your heart. From there it takes you to an unexpected place of self discovery that will be personal for each reader. You will be recharged at the end, and you will know a lot more about yourself and the obstacles in your life. Thank you, Paul!

A Must Read

We read this book in Book club and wow what a book it is. It was heart racing, sad, frustrating, spiritual and inspirational, and beautiful. Many quotes from Papa really enlightened me and change the way a thought about that situation. I'm definitely passing this on.
