A timeless story of finding hope through unthinkable loss, The Shack is one of the most powerful and beloved stories of our age.

Contains bonus sneak-peek content from the forthcoming sequel, Return to the Shack, coming October 6, 2026.

Mackenzie “Mack” Philips’s 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 Mack finds there will change his world forever.

With over 25 million copies sold around the world, The Shack wrestles with one of humanity’s greatest questions: "Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?" The answers Mack finds in the shack will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as they did him. You'll want everyone you know to read this book.
