<P> Mack's family leaves to visit relatives and he goes alone to the shack, unsure of what he will see there . He arrives and initially finds nothing, but as he is leaving, the shack and its surroundings are supernaturally transformed into a lush and inviting scene . He enters the shack and encounters manifestations of the three persons of the Trinity . God the Father takes the form of an African American woman who calls herself Elousia and Papa; Jesus is a Middle Eastern carpenter; and the Holy Spirit physically manifests as an Asian woman named Sarayu . </P> <P> The bulk of the book narrates Mack's conversations with Papa, Jesus, and Sarayu as he comes to terms with Missy's death and his relationship with the three of them . Mack also has various experiences with each of them . Mack walks across a lake with Jesus, sees an image of his (Earthly) father in Heaven with Sarayu, and has a conversation with Sophia, the personification of God's wisdom . At the end of his visit, Mack goes on a hike with Papa, now appearing as an older Native American male, who shows him where Missy's body was left in a cave . </P> <P> After spending the weekend at the shack, Mack leaves and is so preoccupied with his thoughts that he is nearly killed in an automobile accident . After his recovery, he realizes that he did not in fact spend the weekend at the shack, but that his accident occurred on the same day that he arrived at the shack . He also leads the police to the cave that Papa revealed, and they find Missy's body still lying there . With the help of forensic evidence discovered at the scene, the Little Ladykiller is arrested and put on trial . </P> <P> Young originally wrote The Shack as a Christmas gift for his six children with no apparent intention of publishing it . After letting several friends read the book he was urged to publish it for the general public . In 2006, Young worked with Wayne Jacobsen, Brad Cummings (both former pastors from Los Angeles) and Bobby Downes (filmmaker) to bring the book to publication . They had no success with either religious or secular publishers, so they formed Windblown Media for the purpose of publishing the book . The Shack achieved its No. 1 best selling success via word - of - mouth and with the help of a USD $300.00 website; it is often reported that nothing else had been spent on marketing up to September 2007 . Additional startup funds were supplied by Brad Cummings, president of Windblown Media, who spent the maximum credit limit on 12 personal credit cards in order to publish the book . </P>
