The Shack is a book about the immense and overwhelming love of a Father. The main character in this book is Mackenzie Allen Philips or Mack as he is referred to in most of the book. While on an outing to a park with his children, the youngest, Missy, is abducted by a serial killer. In a shack back in the woods the only evidence that she has been killed is found. In the middle of Mack’s darkest depression, a letter arrives from someone claiming to be God inviting him to the shack for the weekend.
This book follows Mack through his pain to the point of forgiveness, not only for the man that killed his daughter but also for himself. Throughout this book, God is portrayed over and over as a loving Father who sent his Son to save us.

You will be captured by the love and forgiveness that flows from the pages of this book as you are drawn in by the words of the Father.
