– Well, this is certainly a book that's got "classic" written all over it! "The Shack" is immensely good, a recommendation comes easily! The plot tells about a guy called Mack or Mackenzie, whose 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. This book is very moving, serious, funny and one of the most original books I have ever read! I mean, an ordinary man on "holiday" at God's house, how brilliant is that?

THE SHACK is an international bestseller that explores life's toughest questions through the gripping story of one man's struggle to find answers to his suffering.
Mack's youngest daughter, Missy, was 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, still trapped in his great sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack. Against his better judgement Mack arrives at the shack on a wintry afternoon. What he finds there will change his life forever.
THE SHACK wrestles with the timeless question, 'Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?' Mack's experiences when he faces up to his darkest nightmares will astound you, and perhaps transform you as much as it did him.
This is the kind of book you'll want to tell everyone about. Millions have discovered it already - now it's your turn.

Om forfatteren
Paul wrote the first version of THE SHACK many years ago when his children were small. He wanted them to understand God's grace, and that his concern and love for our wellbeing is constant. Over the years THE SHACK has grown, developed and through many different versions turned into the great success it is today.

Bear Grylls
«'Clearly the book is speaking loud and clear to a lot of people'»
The Independent
«Bunyanesque ... bold, imaginative, humane and funny.»
Church Times
«This story reads like a prayer - like the best kind of prayer, filled with sweat and wonder and transparency and surprise. If you read one work of fiction this year, let this be it.»
Mike Morrell, Zoecarnate.com
«Reading THE SHACK during a very difficult transition in my life, this story has blown the door wide open to my soul.»
Wynonna Judd, Recording Artist
«This book has the potential to do for our generation what John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress did for his. It's that good!»
Eugene Peterson
«'This is the most heart-warming, inspirational story I have read in decades. If you only read one book in the next year....read THE SHACK'»
J.John
«'By far the most captivating, deliciously written and theologically refreshing page turner of a novel I have ever read.'»
Gerald Coates, Pioneer
«'Dangerous, dangerous way to do off-the-hook theology, I love it! It's not just what happens when a theologian becomes storyteller: this is what happens when a survivor who has experienced God decides to tell a story. This should be required reading in spirituality/theodicy classes everywhere. The Shack will quickly become a modern classic, and it will inspire imitators. But very few will match the competence of this work.'»

«THE SHACK is the most absorbing work of fiction I've read in many years. My wife and I laughed, cried and repented of our own lack of faith along the way. THE SHACK will leave you craving for the presence of God.»
