Young sent the book to over twenty publishers, but was rejected by all of them, so Young, Wayne Jacobsen, Brad Cummings, and Bobby Downes formed a publishing company called Windblown Media and used it to publish the book. After reading it, a few of Young's friends encouraged him to publish it. Young originally wrote The Shack for his family and close friends to show them his religious beliefs and struggles. While the foreword and afterword of the book make it seem as if Young is recording a story told to him by a close friend, Young has called the story "a parable laden with metaphor. The novel tells the story of Mack, a man whose daughter has been abducted by a serial killer, meeting God face to face and spending a weekend in a shack in the woods exploring grief and religion. The Shackis a work of Christian fiction published by William Paul Young in 2007. ![]()
