"The Shack"



OK, so I just received the book "The Shack" for my birthday from my parents. I have wanted this book forever and have already read about 1/4 of it! Here is the book description:

"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."

I have just gotten to the place when Mack arrives back at the shack and I have to say that at first I thought that what he "found" was a little strange and hard to wrap my mind around. But the more I read, the more I understand the point of view the author decided to use. This book is also a challenging read. It makes your mind really work (or perhaps it's because I am now only used to reading Curious George books!). I am still withholding my final review of this book, but I think everyone would enjoy it from what I have read so far!
