Publisher Description

A timeless story of finding hope through unthinkable loss, The Shack is one of the most powerful and beloved stories of our age, with over 25 million copies sold worldwide.

 

Mackenzie “Mack” Phillips's 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 his life forever.

In an age where suffering and hardship are all around us, The Shack wrestles with one of humanity's greatest and most timeless questions: Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?

 

Journey with Mack as he learns to see God in a whole new way in this story of suffering, forgiveness, and redemption.

Quotes

  • “The Shack is a one-of-a-kind invitation to journey to the very heart of God. Through my tears and cheers, I have been indeed transformed by the tender mercy with which William Paul Young opened the veil that too often separated me from God and from myself. With every page, the complicated dos and don’ts that distort a relationship into a religion were washed away as I understood Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for the first time in my life.”

    — Patrick M. Roddy, ABC News Emmy Award–winning producer

  • “Roger Mueller’s clear, gentle voice characterizes Mac’s family with high-spirited joy and laughter. His portrayal of Missy’s animated excitement makes her especially believable. His polished performance of grief-stricken Mac brings tears. With empathy and sensitivity, Mueller captures the mysterious voices of those who have invited him to the now abandoned, yet transformed, cabin in the wilderness. This compelling fantasy explores themes of love, loss, and blame.”

  • “Don’t miss this!  If there’s a better book out there capturing God’s engaging nature and His ability to crawl into our darkest nightmare with his love, light, and healing, I’ve not seen it. For the most ardent believer or newest spiritual seeker, The Shack is a must-read.”

    — Wayne Jacobsen, author of So You Don’t Want to Go to Church Anymore

He completed his undergraduate degree in religion at Warner Pacific College in Portland, Oregon. While in Oregon, he 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.
