Summary

The powerful best-selling novel, now a major motion picture, of how a grief-stricken man's encounter with God changes his life forever. With 20 million copies sold worldwide, The Shack is an international best seller that explores life's toughest questions through the gripping story of one man's struggle to find answers to his suffering.

Mack's youngest daughter, Missy, was 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, still trapped in his great sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack. Against his better judgment, Mack arrives at the shack on a wintry afternoon. What he finds there will change his life forever.

The Shack wrestles with the timeless question 'where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?' Mack's experiences when he faces up to his darkest nightmares will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as they did him. This is the kind of story you'll want to tell everyone about. Millions have discovered it already - now it's your turn.

This audiobook contains a bonus interview with the author.

More meaningful each time I listen/read it.

Each time I read or listen to this book it becomes more meaningful to me. I could not cuddle my farther when I was young, I pulled away because his breath stank of smoking and I was too young to tell him. It was not till I was older that my Mum told me that he always wondered why? Relationships can be made or destroyed before you realise it has happened. Now I can forgive my dad.

a must read

I loved this book , it's an emotional, thought provoking read. I can see how so many people have been moved and changed the way they they think about their own relationship with God. although a work of fiction it felt real.

Rekindling your Faith

I read this book years ago, if you can accept God being played by a woman it’s truly enlightening. It made me question why I had given up on Jesus and religion. I have now been a practicing Christian for 4 years, I was so pleased to see it on audible. I downloaded it straight away, and have listened to it several times!
