 This book made a difficult Bible story seem much more real. We read it as a Summer reading group and enjoyed it very much. Forgiveness and love were key to this incredible story.

Mac'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.

Comments:
 This book is a challenge to read and presents some very interesting ideas on the trinity, grief, forgiveness, evil. It takes deep conversation and is best in a group setting. We used two additional resources to help understand the book. In the end we found it an intriguing opportunity to challenge our sterotypes of God and our relationship with them.
