Description
Experience The Shack, the cherished novel that sold over 25 million copies worldwide, spent 147 weeks on the bestseller list, and went on to become a major motion picture, now in a new gift edition with a stunning gold foil cover and digital edges.
ALSO INCLUDES 3 CHAPTERS FROM THE SEQUEL, RETURN TO THE SHACK, COMING IN OCTOBER 2026.
Mackenzie Allen 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 sees God in a whole new way.

Person
Wm Paul Young was born a Canadian and raised among a technologically stone-age tribe by his missionary parents in the highlands of what was then 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.
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.
