The Shack ─ Healing for Your Journey Through Loss, Trauma, and Pain

Trauma and loss are unfortunately universal. Finding answers to the question of pain and suffering challenges everyone as well. This study guide to the #1New York Times bestseller and major motion picture provides a helpful resource to those who seek healing and recovery from life's most painful experiences. Here are excerpts fromThe Shack with questions for reflection and instructions to guide users through a healing process. The goal, like the theme ofThe Shack, is to usher people into the loving presence of the triune God where together with Him they will confront their deepest pain and experience real, lasting, healing.
