Makenzie 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 i 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.

My mom recommended this book to me, and I have been meaning to read it for awhile. This book seems like a great read and has a great message (for me) to the book. The back of the book really draws me in because it leaves you hanging on what he discovers when he goes back to the shack.
ReplyDeleteAlexis, did you finish this? It sounds like a book I'd enjoy. Did it contain the message you thought it would?
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Missy
I have not yet finished this book, though it is filled with controversial issues that make you think. I really think that this book is a book I would recommend to any person that understands the concept of God and religion and is ready for a strong philosophical message to hit you in the face from the moment you open the cover of the book to the second you read the last word in the book. So far the message is very straight forward from what it had read on the back of the book.
DeleteThat sounds good. So... where is God so far?
