Synopsis
With 18 million copies sold worldwide, The Shack is an international bestseller that explores life's toughest questions through the gripping story of one man's struggle to find answers to his suffering Mack's youngest daughter, Missy, was 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, still trapped in his great sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack. Against his better judgement Mack arrives at the shack on a wintry afternoon. What he finds there will change his life forever. The Shack wrestles with the timeless question, 'Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?' Mack's experiences when he faces up to his darkest nightmares will astound you, and perhaps transform you as much as it did him. .

A hugely disappointing read. Neither well written or spiritual. Struggled to complete it and will not be passing on or recommending to anyone I know.
The Shack
What a great book! Not what I expected at all, and I didn't want to put it down! Gave me plenty to think about and really shook some philospohies I had.

I think that this book is very well written with alot of expressive and adult vocabulary within it!

AMAZING!!! For all of those unanswered questions.A book you will want to read over and over again!
