Synopsis

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.

How Does God Speak to Us?by Anonymous

Reader Rating:

July 04, 2009: If you have ever wondered why God allowed tragedy in your life, this will be an informative, inspirational and comforting read for you. It emphasizes the truth that God has granted humans free will, and sometimes our wrong choices result in tragedy that causes awful suffering for someone else. It emphasizes God's love for everyone, good or bad, right or wrong. It shows that we may not understand God's ways, but we need to rest in and trust what God does. In the study group I was in, people felt that the book sometimes went with "pat" answers and that it ended in a way that is often not true to human experience. However, it will help you think through some things in life and give you a new look at them.

It is a valuable, thought provoking book.

Not at ALL Biblically sound!by SamBoBam06

July 03, 2009: Its so unfortunate to see so many high reviews claiming they feel so close to God after reading this book. Because first of all NO book, other than the Bible can bring you closer to God. I've read so many reviews on this book and its true, this book was made mainly for the "people who are emotionally swept out into the sea of deception". Mainly because nothing in this book is Biblically sound. Its full of nothing but false doctrine. For example in the novel God is claimed to be a woman named "Elousia". First of all God is NOT a woman, nor is he a human. The Trinity in the Shack is based upon the goddess of kali, not the Trinity in the actual Bible (which is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). It's sad to see another novel out there confusing people and leading them down the wrong path. If you truly want to know Jesus, stop wasting your time on novels like these and read the Bible. However "if you believe in a Universal salvation without seeking forgiveness, or if you want a god who loves without logic, and if you don't know or don't care about biblical truth and sound doctrine" this book is for you.
