The Shack
by William P. Young (2007)
A tragic occurance, the abduction of a child, leaves a father depressed and angry with God. Evidence that the child was murdered was found in an abandoned shack. Four years later, the father receives a suspicious invitation to return to the shack. He does, and what he finds there changes his life forever.
This books presents a very comforting concept of how God works in our daily lives and in the midst of tragedy. The book is hard to put down, I read it in three nights. It is creative and well written. I intend to read parts of it again - it was that good.
I would rate it a '9' ( I don't ever rate anything '10' - there is always the possibility that there is a better one out there) , and I don't think I will ever forget it! It is on the #1 New York Times Bestseller list and can be bought at Books a Million in paperback.
