The Shack

Author: William P. Young

Nestled in the Oregon wilderness, “The Shack” tells a heart-wrenching tale of loss and redemption. Mack, still reeling from his daughter’s tragic disappearance, receives a mysterious invitation to revisit the scene of his deepest pain. What unfolds is a soul-stirring journey that challenges everything he thought he knew about faith, forgiveness, and the nature of God. Young’s prose is raw and honest, weaving a story that tugged at my heartstrings and left me pondering long after the final page.

Forgiveness is not about forgetting. It is about letting go of another person's throat.
