The Shack

Book • 2007
The Shack tells the story of Mackenzie Allen Phillips, a father of five, whose youngest daughter, Missy, is kidnapped and murdered during a family outing.

Years later, Mack receives a mysterious note from 'Papa' (God) inviting him to the shack where Missy's body was found.

There, Mack encounters three figures representing the Trinity: Papa (God the Father), Jesus, and Sarayu (the Holy Spirit).

Through conversations with them, Mack gains a new understanding of God's love, forgiveness, and the reasons behind suffering and evil.

The book explores themes of love, relationships, and the transformative power of redemption through forgiveness.
