William P. Young, author of the No. 1 New York Times best-selling book, “The Shack.” Young, a Canadian-born son of missionaries, wrote the novel as a personal story for his six children, and never intended it to be for public consumption. But since its debut on the market, “The Shack” has sky-rocketed to success, landing in the No. 1 spot on several trade paperback fiction bestseller lists.

“The Shack,” a surprise run-away best-seller, tells the fictional redemptive story of Mackenzie Allen Phillips, whose daughter is tragically abducted during a family vacation. Shortly after, evidence of her murder is found in an abandoned shack.

Four years later, Phillips receives a note, supposedly from “God,” inviting him back to the shack. Accepting the offer, even against his better judgment, Phillips experiences an unexpected encounter that will forever change his life. For more information, visit www.abunga.com/featuredauthoryoung.
