At the very least this book will spur discussion! A creative and inventive way to view Christianity. May challenge, anger and scare those who have a legalistic view of religion, but will be a welcome relief to those with an open spiritual view. Categorized as fiction, although by the end of the book I wasn't too sure what I was reading was not a true experience.

I finished reading it for the first time yesterday and feel I need to go back and read parts of it again to fully grasp and keep reminding myself of the concepts. One of those books that's staying with me - mainly I suppose because I wholeheartedly agree with the Spirituality portrayed in it and this view of Christianity versus organised religion. I agree that even though it's fiction I wonder how close to life experience it is for the author. The website for The Shack is worth a look - especially the author's biography.

Storyline

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!
