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.

This spoke to me like never before!

I needed encouragement after a series of deaths and murders with love one. Thank you for opening my awareness and heart to the love of Jesus.

loved every part

This book was so good, I'm going to listen to it again right away. It has helped me to look at some issues and questions a different way, and therefore come up with some answers and possible solutions. But besides that, it was just a really good read and captivating story. I especially liked all the mentions of Jesus, GOD, and the Holy Spirit. Thank you.

Absolutely Amazing

A must read. It's hard to get started since it has a religious stigma and there's controversial sounding ideas initially, but once you get into it everything changes.

And the voice actor for the audio did a great job.

Not as good as the movie

Okay. So I wanted to say I loved this book, but I didn't. Sad face. The movie helped me to see the trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and understand how they are 3 different, but one in the same. The book goes way too much into dialogues of God. That I found hard because as a Christian I know that the word of God is our Bible and we should not be trying to add to it. The idea the writer had for this book, of ultimate and tough forgiveness, does shine through. But I have to say I actually preferred the movie on this one.

Good listen

I love this story I have the physical book and it was a great read I also seen the movie which was a great read as well. It could use a little more personality in the read but all in all it is going well!
