FREE: The Shack by Wm. Paul Young

The listing, The Shack by Wm. Paul Young has ended.

The Shack is a novel by Canadian author William P. Young, a former office manager and hotel night clerk, published in 2007.[1]
The novel was self-published but became a USA Today bestseller, having sold 1 million copies as of June 8, 2008. [2] It was the #1 Paperback trade fiction seller on the New York Times best sellers list from June 2008 to early 2010.[3]
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 closely with Wayne Jacobsen, Brad Cummings (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 Wind Blown Media for the sole purpose of publishing this one book. The Shack achieved its #1 best selling success via word-of-mouth and with the help of a $300.00 website; it is often reported that nothing else had been spent on marketing up to September 2007.[4] 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.[5][6] shipping is 2.50 via pay pal thanks and happy bidding
