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! Customer Reviews:   Read 1563 more reviews... The Shame of the Shack   October 14, 2008 C. Pierpont (Fox River Grove, Illinois) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful The author builds his own pulpit and holds forth from it upon creation. He succeeds in reducing all of human history into an overnight stay with an "Aunt Jemimah" figure, a Hebrew from the House of Judah, and a collection of colored lights in a cabin in the woods. Tragedy does not confront eternity as claimed on the book cover. What is accomplished is a poorly written imaginary description of one man's misery confronting that same man's faith. These concepts have been explored before and will be again by men and women who are better writers. Thank God. A "Disney" version of God   October 14, 2008 Christen Riddle (GA United States) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful I'm not a church-ey Christian, and I thought this book would be a good fit for me. Instead, I found it to be a "Disney" version of God and Christianity: easy to swallow, "feel-good", and universally un-offensive. It is not necessarily the hard-core truth about God and I even found it a little "new-agey". I have to agree that it in not accurate or sound doctrine. If you want real, scriptural answers to the tough questions this book proposes to answer, I'd suggest reading CS Lewis. Where's the miracle?   October 13, 2008 t. yule (Belle Plaine, MN) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful There is a lot of hype surrounding William Paul Young's "The Shack" and the marketing behind it is very good considering that I read it (I'm not too into Christina literature). The Shack is about a man, Mack, whose daughter is kidnapped and murdered. He loses his faith and God sends him a note asking him to meet him at the shack where his daughter was murdered. I don't want to ruin the book for others...but there really isn't a mystery in this novel. There is anticipation that there is some great miracle that will happen at the "shack." There isn't one. All there is is a discussion between Mack and God. I wish that that byline just said that. I'd still have read it. Instead I feel like I was duped into reading this book, expecting to find a miracle... To say the least, there is little character development and the plot is thin. In order to really get your message across, you need the reader to care about the characters in the book and there was so little of the "Mack" character that I didn't care what happened to him. This is a great book for the Christian community to read. I think it would open up a lot of discussion surrounding people's belief systems. However, if you are looking for a book with some meat in it...this isn't it. A must read!.   October 13, 2008 Marty R. Whatever your spiritual bent may be, or the religious affiliation of your choice, this little book answers the questions posed by -- why do bad things happen to good people? Or: does God make these things happen, does he allow them to happen, or is He just an observer of our actual daily life events? It is not "preachy" in any way, and does not prosletyze (that's probably not the correct spelling.....) for any specific brand of religion. What it is, is a reaffirmation of God's love for humankind and brought me to a realization of His "bigness" and His power. This is NOT a heavy-handed "how-to" book...it is a darned good story, one I found hard to put down. I have bought 2 copies, to give to friends. We all need to hear what it has to say, particularly in these times, when everything else seems to be so negative. boring   October 13, 2008 Cathy Cole 1 out of 3 found this review helpful I hated this book. I think it is one of the most stupid books I have ever read. I couldn't finish it..It ruined ladybugs for me!! I used to love ladybugs , collected them, etc. So this writer decides the killer has a title, "little lady killer" ekk.. And God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit , are ridiculous the way this is written.. I know Christians have made God almost humanlike ..Only Jesus was human and I can't see him seeing a little girl being snatched, riding in a truck with a maniac and is" just there in spirit" comforting her ,but let her be murdered!! O PLEASSSSSSSSSSS.. This trinity is toooo folksey and happy go lucky , when horrible things are happening around them..GEESH!! This book is disgusting..!!
