The Shack

Oh my!! This book is really something special. I bought it on Saturday and finished in ONE READING. The story behind this book is amazing. It was originally self-published and is now on the best seller list. Do you know how often that happens? Um. . like NEVER. This should indicate just how good this book is. . . No major marketing campaigns, no major publishing company, no corporate marketing strategy. Just simply mouth-to-mouth promotion.

Anyway, here's the synopsis of the book:

"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!"

This book has touched people across the globe. One family is even dedicated to getting the book into as many hands as possible. They've developed a website where you can have the book sent to anyone (including yourself) for FREE!! Yes, you got that right, FREE!! Here's the link. I've already had copies sent to all those people who are most important to me. Yes, it's that kind of book--very life changing. Have I peaked your interest yet? I really hope so.

So, do me a huge favor and READ IT. Okay? And come back here and let me know what you think. I believe it will capture your heart and bless you as it did me.

Still glowing from reading "The Shack,"
