A cabana

Mackenzie Allen Phillips is living in grief after his youngest daughter, Missy, was abducted and killed during a family camping trip, and her bloodstained dress was found in an abandoned shack. Years later, he receives a note signed by God, whom his wife calls Papa, inviting him back to that shack. There he meets three figures who embody the Trinity, and a series of conversations about suffering, forgiveness, and trust follow. William Paul Young wrote it as a story first for his own children.

Suited to readers who want a Christian novel that tackles pain and how God could allow it. It will interest those asking about faith after tragedy, whether or not they agree with its theology.

Inward-looking and contemplative; an easy read.

Best for readers like The Empathetic Explorer. Which reader are you?
