The Shack by Wm. Paul Young

The image shows the book "The Shack" by Wm. Paul Young, highlighting themes of tragedy and eternity, with a snowy cabin cover.

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.
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?" The answers Mack gets will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as it did him. You'll want everyone you know to read this book! (Goodreads)

 

I would put this as my number one book to film adaptation. The Shack tackles topics of religion, forgiveness, and the meaning of life. It follows the story of a man whose daughter was kidnapped and his journey with spirituality and the afterlife. A 100% must read.
