The Shack Study Guide: Healing for Your Journey Through Loss, Trauma, and Pain

by William Paul Young, Brad Robison

The study guide companion to the #1 New York Times bestseller and upcoming major motion picture The Shack is a helpful resource to those who seek healing and recovery from life's most painful experiences.

Trauma and loss are unfortunately universal, and finding answers to the question of pain and suffering challenges everyone. The Shack Study Guide includes excerpts from The Shack with questions for reflection and instructions to lead readers through a healing process. The goal, like the theme of The Shack , is to usher readers into the loving presence of the triune God, where together with Him, they will confront their deepest pain and experience a real, lasting healing.

I have read The Shack 4 times and loved it everytime!

Originally tried this study in a very small group setting .. not once, but twice. Each time, praying and really thinking that was the way to go. However, after an unsuccessful second try, I prayed one more time, and dropped out of the very small group. Returned back to the study as a solo study, and it was as if a much needed switch was flipped, or a button had been pressed.

Only speaking for myself, but, as a solo study, this impacted my faithwalk tremendously, and helped with the continued healing path that I am on. Only wishing that I had switched to an independent study sooner. Not saying that others wouldn't benefit from it as a group study, but for me, the difference was dramatic.

This book gives a great storyline of how God is always with us through the storms of our lives. We can grow through our storms, we just need to trust God that he knows what he’s doing in our lives.

The book was not deep enough to need a study guide. This is just a grift.

Te ayuda a entender la importancia de amar y perdonar aun cuando lo que te hayan hecho te haya destrozado. Y entiendes que no somos quienes para juzgar.

I previewed this for a possible Bible study class. I decided against leading the class because I felt that there was a lot of heavy stuff in this book that I didn't want to be in charge of, if that makes sense. This will probably be a great study...for someone else to lead.

Just read this for the third time, and every time I read it I learn something new and a new way to apply it to my life. I absolutely love this book and it changed my life, now three times. A must read
