A CONVERSATION about the “The Shack” by William Young
What Is “The Shack?” The Shack revolves around Mack Philips. Before this story begins, Mack’s daughter was abducted during a family vacation. Though her body was never found, the police found evidence in an abandoned shack indicating that she had been brutally murdered by a serial killer who preyed on young girls. As the story begins, Mack, who has been living in deep grief, receives a strange note that is apparently from God. God invites him to return to this shack for a get together. Uncertain, Mack re-visits the crime scene has an encounter with God.
This book challenges personal conceptions of the theological order of things. For reviews try www.challies.com/media/The_Shack.pdf or hereiblog.com/2008/08/08/the-shack-review/.
