The Spiritual Book Club meets Thursday, June 10th at 7:00 p.m. to discuss the phenomenal bestseller The Shack (Windblown Media , 2007, 256 pp., pbk, reg. $14.99; sale $13.49) by William P. Young, which has been praised by both Christians and non-Christians.
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, ostensibly 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 and quite possibly your own.
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?”
