I loved how this author made God come alive in these characters that he chose to portray Him. This just proves that you never know where God may be. I kind of expected the ending but in this book that did not change the excitement. I was so proud of him when he forgave the murderer of his daughter, but I really do not think that I could have . This would make an amazing movie. (  ) RPerritt | Nov 6, 2009 | I like The Shack for it's enlightening view on God's place in our lives, and I also appreciate the lengthy explanations of the trinity. The most powerful section for me is when Mack "reunites" with his father, which is perhaps symbolic of the author forgiving his own father for the abuse he suffered as a child. The book is not well-written, but it's not intended to be; rather, it is the author's way of working through the grief in his own life. (  ) saskreader | Oct 30, 2009 | One of the best spiritual books I have ever read. If you take everything in the Bible as literal - then this book is not for you. But if you are willing and able to think outside of the box about who God is, then this is a must read. This book as a sum is rather uninteresting, but take the parts, the great lines about God and who he/she really is and it is a gem of a read. I feel like I am a better person for having read The Shack and the relationships I have with others will benefit also. (  ) misfev | Oct 28, 2009 | Very interesting.... the story about the daughter was very touching. The middle dragged a bit. I did like the enlightening view on religion.

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.
