About this listen

After his daughter's murder, a grieving father confronts God with desperate questions - and finds unexpected answers - in this riveting and deeply moving number one New York Times best seller.

When Mackenzie Allen Phillips's youngest daughter Missy is abducted during a family vacation, he remains hopeful that she'll return home. But then, he discovers evidence that she may have been brutally murdered in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness.

Four years later, in this midst of his great sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note that's supposedly from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment, he arrives on a wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change his life forever.

Captivated from start to finish. Excellent narration. Couldn't stop listening until it finished. Great for both personal reflection and relational discussion between spouse, family and close friends.

This is the fictional book that changed my life and helped me to heal and discover the Triune God of Father, Jesus and Spirit. I always viewed them as different from each other, however The Shack allowed me to grasp that Papa was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, because we are his children.

A story of great heart ache, trials, laughter and immense immense love.

I loved this book, it was beautifully written in a way that challenges common thought with regard to God. It seems bring about a sort of clarity in understanding God while trying to contextualise Him in a way that bypasses the confusion that can accompany "religion"
