Secrets Behind The Shack

Paul and Mark enjoying playful times at Woody's Crab 'Shack'.

Paul's story of The Shack gifted me with new language around suffering, goodness and pain.

Shortly thereafter, Paul accepted a crazy invitation to speak for a week at a family camp we led. It was during a beautiful sunset, somewhere on the Chesapeake Bay that Paul, my wife Lori and I began a life-giving friendship.

It is my privilege to share with you a recent conversation we had around the book becoming a movie and how his story resonates with those fighting addiction, suffering, pain and broken relationships.
