The Shack by W. Young is a work of FICTION. The end of the book may confuse you but don't be alarmed...it's simply fiction. I think its supposed to be like the Da Vinci Code where the media might be able to hype it up and gain audience interest (in the event a movie is ever made).
Anyway, this novel is about a man who after a horrible family tragedy is summoned to the very place of the 'accident' through a letter from God. So Mack (short for Mackenzie) will travel to this place of his nightmare to reconcile the darkness in his heart and his relationship with God. Yes at the shack Mack will meet God in real life.
The book was really interesting and different. The descriptions are very vivid in both your senses and emotions. If you're deeply religious then some of the ideas in this book will be very touching. If you're not I think the ideas behind it can be applied in other aspects. It's not a long read; however, at some points the conversations with "Papa" can be quite confusing - when He explains some of the concepts of living completely in God, etc. But if you stick with it then you might find something that touches you.
