Product Description
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 iGreat Sadnessi, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. p Against his better judgment he arrives as the shack on a wintry afternoon and walk back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change Mack's world forever. p In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant iThe Shacki 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.

 Awesome December 3, 2008

What a book! Keeps you on the edge of your seat, and is thought-provoking! I loved it!
A surprisingly touching read December 3, 2008
L. Jacobs (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)
Let me start by saying, I picked up this book with no expectations, no summary and without reading any reviews. I was looking for a fictional story--or, a light read. I have been reading more serious topics in nonfiction concerning spirituality, enlightenment, and soul-purpose lately, and I thought I was reaching for a break when I picked up this best-seller. br / br /Behind a gripping story-line (the murder of a child), there is a Christian-based teaching with a spiritual feel to it. This type of story always upsets rigid church-goers who have been using fear-based teachings all their life and hold onto those teachings for dear life (literally). This type of book about a free-and-adoring God really upsets fear-based thinkers (hence the low-star ratings and rantings here on Amazon). br / br /Overall, it is a sweet read about how truly adored we are in every light and it is much more thought-provoking and deep than I had anticipated. It offers a tangible approach to God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, so if that is not your cup of tea, you should save yourself the stress and upset this genuinely loving novel will offer. br / br /If you are seeking peace, if you love learning about how loved you are in this universe, then this book will bring you tears of sorrow and joy--in a really good way. All the best.
Loved the Book! December 3, 2008

I read this book with an open mind. br / br /I loved it and I will highly recommend it to my friends. br / br /This book is about love it is sure to be a classic. br / br /It may shatter your preconceived beliefs/thoughts about br /God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit. br / br /Don't wait order the book today. br / br /

Yes, the book is a very readable but misleading parable selling misguided theology. But I just could NOT get around flashbacks to the seventies every time I read the lead charater's name, the teen actress from "One Day at a Time!" br / br /Where was Schneider? Did he build the shack?
Wonderful book, quick read December 2, 2008

I loved this book. This is the God that we all instinctively know is the real deal. Although this is fiction and just one person's story the message is pure and honest. I know this may be challenging to people that see the Bible as the only true word of God. At first I wanted to send this to all of my friends and family, but then realized that they may not want to "see" God in this informal way. br /The plot moves along quickly and you are not disappointed.
