| 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! |

William P. Young (Paul) was born a Canadian and along with three younger siblings was raised among a stone-age tribe by his missionary parents in the highlands of what was New Guinea (West Papua). The family returned to Canada where his father pastored a number of churches for various denominations. By the time he entered Canadian Bible College, Paul had attended a dozen schools. He completed his undergraduate degree in religion at Warner Pacific College in Portland, Oregon.
While in Oregon, Paul attended seminary and met and married Kim. Together they celebrate “the wastefulness of grace” with their six children, two daughters-in-law, and now two grandchildren.
Paul had written primarily as a way to create unique gifts for friends, until his wife repeatedly urged him to write something for their 6 children in order to put down in one place his perspectives on God and on the inner healing Paul had experienced as an adult. The resulting manu (which later became The Shack), was intended only for his 6 kids and for a handful of close friends.
Paul initially printed just fifteen copies of his book. Two of his close friends encouraged him to have it published and assisted with some editing and rewriting in order to prepare the manu for publication. Rejected by 26 publishers, Paul and his friends published the book under the name of their newly created publishing company, Windblown Media in 2007. The company spent only $300 in advertising; word-of-mouth referrals eventually drove the book to number one on the New York Times trade paperback fiction best-seller list in June 2008.
Paul currently resides in Happy Valley, Oregon with his wife. |

The Shack November 10, 2008
Reviewer: Susan from
Possibly one of the best books I have ever read. Please keep in mind when reading it that it is a fictional story. Jesus used parables to teach people and I find this book is much the same way. God used it to open my eyes to view him in a different way. It is a book about relationships and finding out a little bit more about how we may view God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
AMAZING!!! September 10, 2008
Reviewer: Ashleigh from Texas
Take it from someone who hardly ever reads, this book is worth the time. I found myself crying and laughing while reading this book, never have I been so effected by what I have read. I will definatly be reading this one over many times just so I can enjoy it again.
