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.
