Product 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. In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant "The Shack" wrestles with the timeless question, "Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?" The answers Mack gets will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as it did him. You'll want everyone you know to read this book! |
Customers Reviews  2008-12-03 Awesome What a book! Keeps you on the edge of your seat, and is thought-provoking! I loved it! |  2008-12-03 A surprisingly touching read Let me start by saying, I picked up this book with no expectations, no summary and without reading any reviews. I was looking for a fictional story--or, a light read. I have been reading more serious topics in nonfiction concerning spirituality, enlightenment, and soul-purpose lately, and I thought I was reaching for a break when I picked up this best-seller.
Behind a gripping story-line (the murder of a child), there is a Christian-based teaching with a spiritual feel to it. This type of story always upsets rigid church-goers who have been using fear-based teachings all their life and hold onto those teachings for dear life (literally). This type of book about a free-and-adoring God really upsets fear-based thinkers (hence the low-star ratings and rantings here on Amazon).
Overall, it is a sweet read about how truly adored we are in every light and it is much more thought-provoking and deep than I had anticipated. It offers a tangible approach to God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, so if that is not your cup of tea, you should save yourself the stress and upset this genuinely loving novel will offer.
If you are seeking peace, if you love learning about how loved you are in this universe, then this book will bring you tears of sorrow and joy--in a really good way. All the best. |  2008-12-03 Loved the Book! I read this book with an open mind.
I loved it and I will highly recommend it to my friends.
This book is about love it is sure to be a classic.
It may shatter your preconceived beliefs/thoughts about
God, Jesus, & the Holy Spirit.
Don't wait order the book today.
|  2008-12-03 MacKenzie Phillips? Yes, the book is a very readable but misleading parable selling misguided theology. But I just could NOT get around flashbacks to the seventies every time I read the lead charater's name, the teen actress from "One Day at a Time!"
Where was Schneider? Did he build the shack? |  2008-12-02 Wonderful book, quick read I loved this book. This is the God that we all instinctively know is the real deal. Although this is fiction and just one person's story the message is pure and honest. I know this may be challenging to people that see the Bible as the only true word of God. At first I wanted to send this to all of my friends and family, but then realized that they may not want to "see" God in this informal way.
The plot moves along quickly and you are not disappointed. |

Find Out About The Dangers Associated With Dieting Dieting should have sensible basis otherwise it may do nothing but undermine and ruin your health. There are some dangers associated with dieting.
Danger 1 - on my own
The habit always to rely upon oneself is not the appropriate tactics in dieting. Fattiness like any other diseases should be treated under the strict doctor’s control. Every one is unique and needs certain and specific approach. Someone may be stout but have a good health someone may have few “extra kilos” which will intermix with serious diseases. So you should be completely aware of your current state. Work, life style, surroundings, living conditions and even climate should be taken in account when choosing a diet.
Danger 2 - on the buckwheat
There are several dieting myths: you should eat meat, you should eat once or twice a day, it’s useful to eat only buckwheat or apple pines for example. Each product is wholesome for sure but only in the combination with other useful products. And if you decided to keep to a “one-side” diet you merely deprive yourself of necessary and vital elements.
The greatest problems may cause incredible protein decrease, especially animal protein which can not be substituted by soy or legumes protein. Animal protein is the base for ferments and hormones production. In case you reduce protein consumption the reproductive function gets worse and the blood formula changes.
Another danger is the lack of calcium which we usually get of the diary products. This element is absolutely necessary especially for the young organism which bones are still in the process of formation.
The variety of food is the main point of the right diet. Remember you may eat everything but with the sense of measure. Fish, vegetables and fruits are irreplaceable products and should “find place” in your diet however.
Danger 3 – only diet
If you really want to loose weight and not to regain it you’d better thing about dieting and physical loading as separate things but work out the plan of healthy life style. It may include the food we eat, the way we spend our free time, sleep and whatever. The main tendency today is square meals and minimum of physical exercise. The quantity of energy we receive should not exceed the quantity we consume.
The simplest recommendations are to eat divisionally – every 3 or 4 hours in little quantities, not to eat before going to bed.
Danger 4- food is my best friend
The other stumbling block is to compensate stress depression by eating sweets and chocolates. Some times in such situations a person may eat even when he is not hungry.
Remember everything is in your own hands. |
