William Paul Young

Mackenzie Allen Phillips'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. Four years later, in this midst of his great sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change his life forever.

Paul Young, author of the international bestseller, The Shack, tells a story of the incremental transformation of a man caught in the torments of his own creation, somewhere between heaven and earth.Anthony Spencer is egotistical, proud of being a self-made business success at the peak of his game, even though the cost of winning was painfully high. A cerebral hemorrhage leaves Tony comatose in a hospital ICU. He 'awakens' to find himself in a surreal world, a 'living' landscape that mirrors dimensions of his earthly life, from the beautiful to the corrupt. It is here that he has vivid interactions with others he assumes are projections of his own subconscious, but whose directions he follows nonetheless with the possibility that they might lead to authenticity and perhaps, redemption. The adventure draws Tony into deep relational entanglements where he is able to 'see' through the literal eyes and experiences of others, but is "blind" to the consequences of hiding his personal agenda and loss that emerge to war against the processes of healing and trust. Will this unexpected coalescing of events cause Tony to examine his life and realize he built a house of cards on the poisoned grounds of a broken heart? Will he also have the courage to make a critical choice that can undo a major injustice he set in motion before falling into a coma?

The Shack shattered our limited perceptions about God. Eve will destroy harmful misconceptions about ourselves.From the author of the 25-million copy bestseller The Shack comes a captivating new novel destined to be one of the most important and talked-about books of the decade.When a shipping container washes ashore on an island between our world and the next, John the Collector finds a young woman inside--broken, frozen, and barely alive. With the aid of Healers and Scholars, John oversees her recovery and soon discovers her genetic code connects her to every known human race. She is a girl of prophecy and no one can guess what her survival will mean...No one but Eve, Mother of the Living, who calls her daughter and invites her to witness the truth about her story--indeed, the truth about us all.Eve is a bold, unprecedented exploration of the Creation narrative, true to the original texts and centuries of scholarship, yet with breathtaking discoveries that challenge traditional misconceptions about who we are and how we're made. As The Shack awakened readers to a personal, non-religious understanding of God, Eve will free us from faulty interpretations that have corrupted human relationships since the Garden of Eden.Eve opens a refreshing conversation about the equality of men and women within the context of our beginnings, helping us see each other as our Creator does--complete, unique, and not constrained to cultural rules or limitations.Thoroughly researched and exquisitely written, Eve is a masterpiece that will inspire readers for generations to come.

From the author of the twenty million plus copy bestselling novel The Shack and the New York Times bestsellers Cross Roads and Eve comes a compelling, conversational exploration of the wrong-headed ideas we sometimes have and share about God. Wm. Paul Young has been called a heretic for the ways he vividly portrays God’s love through his novels. Here he shares twenty-eight commonly uttered and sometimes seemingly innocuous things we say about God. Paul exposes these as lies that keep us from having a full, loving relationship with our Creator. With personal anecdotes and sharing the compassion readers felt from the “Papa” portrayed in The Shack—soon to be a major film starring Octavia Spencer, Sam Worthington and Tim McGraw—Paul encourages readers to think anew about important issues including sin, religion, hell, politics, identity, creation, human rights, and helping us discover God’s deep and abiding love.

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.

«Pude seguir adelante, "dejar todo en manos de Dios", como dicen. Y cuando lo hice, las ventanas y las puertas se abrieron de par en par. La luz entró a raudales, una luz que ahuyentó al miedo y eliminó la ira. Lo solté, en verdad lo solté, y fui libre […] la elección fue mía. Podía elegir perdonar o no. Perdoné porque me habían perdonado. Y cuando perdoné llegó la liberación». —La señalUna crisis nerviosa. Un ataque de pánico en pleno sermón. ¿Quién diría que eso podía pasarle a él? Un hombre de fe tan respetado, tan seguro de sí mismo y de sus palabras. Han tenido que ingresarlo en un pabellón psiquiátrico junto a todos aquellos insensatos a los que alguna vez despreció: pecadores, hipócritas, imperfectos, enfermos… Entre ellos se encuentra Max, un paciente a quien le hará mucho daño, pero que terminará mostrándole que a veces Dios se comunica a través de las personas menos esperadas. Obligado a revisar su pasado y sus propios errores, el pastor deberá enfrentar la prueba más difícil si quiere encontrar el Amor y la Gracia, pero ¿será capaz de dejar ir el dolor?, ¿se dejará sanar?La señal explora el peligroso viaje de la voluntad humana a través de los parajes más oscuros de la desesperación y la derrota, para dejarse guiar por la esperanza y alcanzar la redención que solo se consigue al rendirse ante Dios y entregarse a su Amor.

Was ist wahr? Was ist falsch? William Paul Young lädt uns ein, über Auffassungen nachzudenken, die wir gemeinhin über Gott haben. Oft machen wir uns gar keine Gedanken, ob diese wahr oder falsch sind. Dem möchte er auf den Grund gehen und hat 28 solch gängiger Aussagen wie "Gott ist Christ" oder "Es ist alles nur Zufall" gesammelt und stellt sie zur Diskussion. Der Autor zeigt, wie wir uns mit unseren Gedanken unsere eigene Welt erschaffen und warum viele unserer Ansichten mehr mit uns selbst als mit Gott zu tun haben. William Paul Young arbeitete viele Jahre als Büroangestellter und Nachtportier in Hotels. Der gebürtige Kanadier wuchs als Sohn von Missionaren in Papua-Neuguinea auf, war selbst viele Jahre lang Mitarbeiter einer christlichen Gemeinde. Mit seiner Frau Kim und seinen sechs Kindern lebt er in Oregon, USA.

Halb erfroren und dem Tode nahe strandet eine junge Frau auf einer geheimnisvollen Insel. Zu ihrem Glück wird sie von Gelehrten und Heilern gefunden, die bald erkennen, dass Lily zu etwas Besonderem berufen ist. Niemand Geringeres als Eva, die Mutter allen Lebens, lädt sie ein, Zeugin der Schöpfungsgeschichte zu werden und zu erfahren, was wirklich im Garten Eden geschah. William Paul Young, Sohn von Missionaren in Papua-Neuguinea, beleuchtete in "Die Hütte" zentrale spirituelle Fragestellungen neu und begeisterte ein Millionenpublikum. In "Eva" interpretiert er die älteste Geschichte unserer Welt auf neue faszinierende Weise.

Najmłodsza córka Mackenziego Allena Phillipsa Missy została porwana podczas rodzinnych wakacji. W opuszczonej chacie, ukrytej na pustkowiach Oregonu, znaleziono ślady wskazujące na to, że została brutalnie zamordowana. Cztery lata później pogrążony w Wielkim Smutku Mack dostaje tajemniczy list, najwyraźniej od Boga, a w nim zaproszenie do tej właśnie chaty na weekend. Wbrew rozsądkowi Mack przybywa do chaty w zimowe popołudnie i wkracza do swojego najmroczniejszego koszmaru. Jednakże to, co tam znajduje, na zawsze odmienia jego życie. Mack spędza w chacie weekend, uczestnicząc w czymś w rodzaju sesji terapeutycznej z Bogiem, nazywającym siebie Tatuśkiem, Jezusem, który pokazuje się pod postacią żydowskiego robotnika, i Sarayu, Azjatką uosabiającą Ducha świętego.
