Book Review- The Shack

“The Shack”, a novel by William P. Young (Windblown Media, Los Angeles) tells the story of Mackenzie Allen Phillip’s period of “Great Sadness” and his eye-opening experience with the Holy Trinity. Mack’s youngest daughter, Missy, is abducted and brutally murdered on a family camping trip, thus beginning his “Great Sadness”. Mack responds to an unusual invitation to meet with the Holy Trinity at the scene of the crime. What he learns there addresses age old questions such as, “How can a God of love allow such great suffering and pain?” And “Where is God when children are suffering?” You’ll want to share this book with many folks in your life who have experienced pain and suffering, it’s an enlightening view of our lives from God’s perspective. I recommend the book, and I suggest a box of Kleenex nearby.
