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.

A Detailed & Thoughtful Review Of The Shack
Mac's youngest daughter Missy is kidnapped and murdered by a serial child killer while the family camped in rural Oregon near Hell's Canyon. Five years later Mac receives a mysterious note that invites him to go back to the old rundown shack where investigators had discovered Missy's blood drenched dress. The invitation was from God. Desperate to make sense of his little Missy's death and to better deal with his great sorrow, Mac goes alone to the shack even though he thinks it could be the killer luring him there, or just a cruel hoax. It's hard for him to believe that God wrote the note. But if it was God, or the killer, either way he had some words to speak and questions to ask.
Mac falls to pieces and cries himself to sleep, his hands caressing the blood stained wood on the shack's floor. In his dream, he experiences a vivid vision, in which he may have actually spent a weekend with the Trinity.
God the father first appears as a flamboyant African American woman, who cooks and sometimes suntans while explaining the mysteries of life and death and the universe. At great lengths she explains the concepts of the trinity and the plan of salvation.
Mac gets to know Jesus as he appears as himself, a rugged Hebrew carpenter. They watch starry skies together, walk on water and skip stones while talking about Macs questions. While with Jesus Mac gets to see Missy, who smiles and blows him kisses from the other side of a waterfall.
The Holy Spirit appears as a shimmering and faintly visible Asian woman who collects tears and plants flower gardens while she also engages Mac in rather lengthy theological discourse.
Finally God the Father appears to Mac as an Elder African American man, instead of the earlier female representation of God. This Elder man representation of God was the part of God that had to take Mac on a special hike. Along the way He urges Mac to forgive his daughter's killer. He leads Mac to a cave wherein the remains of his little Missy lay wrapped in a sheet. The Holy Spirit and Elder Man God the Father help Mac take Missy's body back to the shack where they place it into a special coffin that Jesus especially made. They plant flowers inside it and finally lay Missy to rest in that special garden.
Mac awakes and sets out to drive home in awe and wonder in regards to this visionary experience. He is suddenly hit from a drunk driver at a four-way intersection and is unconscious four days. As he awakes his memories of his vision come to him in pieces and he wonders what of them are true and what of them are the products of head trauma and hospital drugs. His life with his surviving wife and children will never be the same, and he is finally able to make peace with the death of his Missy and the God that allowed her to be killed.
I also recommend this novel.
