I did not take it as a theological treatise but took two messages: God is not always who we think He is and forgiveness is freeing. Great messages that are consistent with scripture.  indykey | Nov 18, 2009 |  Given to me by my friend Bryan, I carried this book with me for almost a year before I got around to reading it from start to finish.As good a book as any to (re)introduce a person to God's existence and grace. This read levels the playing field of wonder and while it may not agree with historical definitions of faith... it opens the door to a new found sense of wonder and enlightenment.I would recommend this book to anyone who believes, but is not convinced... (  ) spywall | Nov 14, 2009 | I enjoy watching God. I marvel at what & how He creates. Even so, this book expanded my vision of God. It helped eliminate the tainted human perspective and allowed me to explore God in a newly exciting, imaginative way. Don't really care if it's true. It is helpful & undoubtedly given by God to refresh the spirit and the relationship between Him and the reader. ( ) T_Renee | Nov 12, 2009 | A pleasant read. It reminded me of Conversations with God and the Celestine Prophecy. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who is spiritual. (  ) Neale | Nov 10, 2009 | I bought this book (thankfully) before all the hype not knowing what exactly it was about and without any 'expectations'. I thought it was excellent, I couldn't put it down. I enjoyed the characters and explanations for their presence. I loved the author's subtle sense of humour and would recommend it.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0964729237, Paperback)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!(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:55 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
