The novel is set in the American Northwest. The main character is Mackenzie Allen Phillips, a father of five called "Mack" by his family and friends. Four years prior to the main events of the story, Mack takes three of his children on a camping trip to Wallowa Lake near Joseph, Oregon, stopping at Multnomah Falls on the way. Two of his children are playing in a canoe when it flips and almost drowns Mack's son. Mack is able to save his son by rushing into the water and freeing him from the canoe's webbing but unintentionally leaves his youngest daughter Missy alone at their campsite. After Mack returns, he sees that Missy is missing. The police are called, and the family discovers that Missy has been abducted and murdered by a serial killer known as the "Little Ladykiller". The police find an abandoned shack in the woods where Missy was taken: Her bloodied clothing is found, but her body is not located. Mack's life sinks into what he calls, "The Great Sadness".

Mack's family leaves to visit relatives and he goes alone to the shack, unsure of what he will see there. He arrives and initially finds nothing, but as he is leaving, the shack and its surroundings are supernaturally transformed into a lush and inviting scene. He enters the shack and encounters manifestations of the three persons of the Trinity: God the Father takes the form of an African American woman who calls herself Elousia and Papa; God the Son, Jesus, is a Middle Eastern carpenter; and the Holy Spirit physically manifests as an Asian woman named Sarayu.

Because of the sheer volume of error and because of the importance of the doctrines reinvented by the author, I would encourage Christians, and especially young Christians, to decline this invitation to meet with God in The Shack. It is not worth reading for the story and certainly not worth reading for the theology. -- Tim ChalliesAsk a Question&#9660&#9650 Have a question about this product?

The Plot

In this novel, the protagonist, Mackenzie Allen Phillips, receives an invitation from God to meet Him at a shack in the woods. It takes Mack a little while to decide to keep the appointment, but his curiosity and his pain eventually convince him to make the trip. When he arrives at the shack, it and its environment are transformed into an idyllic setting by the presence of God. Mack, too, undergoes a remarkable transformation, although that change takes longer to accomplish.

Since then Young, 54, has undergone a reversal of fortune as sudden and dramatic as that of Job. The Shack, a novel he started in 2005 to explain to his six kids how he coped with tragedy, has become an astonishing hit, selling 7.2 million copies, resting for a year on the New York Times bestseller list and putting $4 million into Young's pocket. The spiritual, often whimsical thriller is the story of Mack, who, four years after his daughter is abducted during a family camping trip in an Oregon state park, receives an invitation in his mailbox from God to come to the shack where his 5-year-old was murdered. God turns out to be a big black woman with a poking sense of humor; Jesus is a Middle Easterner in plaid shirt and jeans; and the Holy Spirit is an Asian pixie with gardener's gloves. Mack spends the weekend in a therapy session with the Trinity to understand how to overcome his anger and reestablish his faith.

Young had been scarred early in life. Born in Grande Prairie, Alta., he spent much of his childhood with his missionary parents in what was then Dutch New Guinea among the Dani tribe, some of whose members sexually abused him. Years later the deaths of his younger brother and young niece pushed him to the point of despair. His wife urged him to write a story to explain to his children his struggles with faith and morality. Writing The Shack helped Young wrestle with his tangled feelings, while struggling as an office manager, a Web writer and an online-conferencing consultant. "My house on the inside is where I stored the addictions. House of shame, house of pain, house of lies," says Young. "After 11 years of [psychological] renovation I was finally ready to write the story, and it just kind of blew out." He finished the book in four months and printed 15 copies at an Office Depot . The copies that didn't go to his kids were mailed to close friends, who passed along copies to their friends.

Man meets God in this fictional story of the middle-aged Mack. In the telling, Mack receives a mysterious note one winter afternoon, four years into his "Great Sadness," inviting him to the shack where his youngest daughter, Missy, was murdered after her disappearance from a family camping trip. Upon arrival, Mack encounters three people in the Oregon wilderness, each presented by the narrator as a member of the Trinity: God is a beaming African-American woman named Papa; Jesus, a handyman in jeans with Middle Eastern features; and the Holy Spirit, an Asian woman named Sarayu who is an imperceptible presence at best. Over the course of one weekend in this supernatural company, Mack comes to terms with what he believes about who God is and how God regards him.

The shack is William Paul Young's metaphor for the heart housed by hurts, lies, and secrets. His aim in the story is to offer an approachable God of relationality and love through whom his protagonist can make sense of tragedies, failures, and disappointments. However, there is another task threaded throughout the book. Young means to dismantle preconceived notions about God and all religious conditioning (93, 119, 179, 205). In so doing, however, he creates false antitheses between faith and life, belief and practice, doctrine or religiosity and the experience of God, all of which in his view are mutually exclusive.
