Welcome…

We invite you into The Shack for a time to both listen and talk about your own Shack experience. Please listen to our various podcasts found in the “box” to the right with William Paul Young, and then leave us your comments and stories and questions on the Let’s Talk page.

As we look around, it seems everywhere we place our eyes… there sits a copy of The Shack. It has been a whirlwind to say the least. While in retail, we heard it all about this book. From those who have said this book has changed their life (which is almost daily) to the occasional concerns about theology and such.

With this, we invite you to dialogue with us. In that, please read the book and in short time, please come to this page and listen in on the podcasts as we discuss the book and frequently asked questions about the book with the author himself, William P. Young.

Our hope for this site, is to provide you, the reader a place to both dialogue as well as hear it from the source.

So, thank you for taking the time to visit us. Please tell your other fellow Shack readers about us too.

* The interview was conducted by Gunnar Simonsen on June 27, 2008. At times, the interviewer can be difficult to hear. This was not edited out as to best capture the flow of the conversation. The total interview running time was nearly 90 minutes and is broken up into several parts.

Thanks for joining us!

The Book…

Mackenzie Allen Philips’ 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 Mack’s world forever. In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant “The Shack” wrestles with the timeless question, “Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?”

The answers Mack gets will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as it did him. You’ll want everyone you know to read this book.
