A really good novel that looks at the issues of where God is in suffering. Not focused on Creation verus evolution issues.

Review

'Brilliant! One of the most faith-enhancing books I have ever read'

(Bear Grylls 20081001)

'Clearly the book is speaking loud and clear to a lot of people'

(The Independent 20081001)

'Bunyanesque ... bold, imaginative, humane and funny.' (Church Times 20081001)

'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.'

(Siku )

'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.' (Michael W. Smith, Recording Artist )

'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 )

About the Author
William P. Young was born a Canadian and raised among a stone-age tribe by his missionary parents in the highlands of what was New Guinea. He suffered great loss as a child and young adult, and now enjoys the 'wastefulness of grace' with his family in the Pacific Northwest. (20081125)
