The Shack by William P. Young



I'm not sure why this book didn't do it for me. There were parts I agreed with and others that just rubbed me the wrong way. Which, I might have been having some of the issues the main character was excepting the "image" of God the author was trying communicate.

That said I am glad I listened to this one.

From Amazon: 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?"
