The Shack by Wm. Paul Young

Missy, the youngest  child in Mackenzie Phillips’ family was abducted from a family fishing trip and her family went into a depression.  Especially Mack, who blamed himself and Katie, his other daughter.  Although no body was ever found, the authorities were certain that Missy was dead.

Mack labeled his depression “the great sadness”  which he seemed unable to shake off.  His wife’s strong relationship with God, whom she referred to as Papa, saw her through her grief and enabled her to go on, but Mack was stuck, until one day a note appeared in his mailbox.  The note told him to meet at the old shack in the woods where Missy’s bloodied dress had been found.  It was signed, Papa.  Unwilling to share his trepidations or his hopes with even his wife, Mack sets off for the shack, uncertain what he hoped to find there. 

What he found there was a new relationship with God, one that he could never have imagined.  This was a journey that changed his perceptions and his life. 

Very thought provoking and interesting concepts.  I recommend it.
