Biography
Young was the eldest of four, born May 11th, 1955, in Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada, but the majority of his first decade was lived with his missionary parents in the highlands of Netherlands New Guinea (West Papua), among the Dani, a technologically stone age tribal people. These became his family and as the first white child and outsider who ever spoke their language, he was granted unusual access into their culture and community. By the time he was 6 he was flown away to boarding school.
Writing Career
Young had written primarily as a way to create unique gifts for friends, until his wife repeatedly urged him to write something for their 6 children in order to put down in one place his perspectives on God and on the inner healing Young had experienced as an adult. The resulting manuscript (which later became The Shack), was intended only for his 6 kids and for a handful of close friends.
Young initially printed just fifteen copies of his book. Two of his close friend encouraged him to have it published and assisted with some editing and rewriting in order to prepare the manuscript for publication. Rejected by 26 publishers, Young and his friends published the book under the name of their newly created publishing company, Windblown Media in 2007. The company spent only $300 in advertising; word-of-mouth referrals eventually drove the book to number one on the New York Times trade paperback fiction best-seller list in June 2008. ”The Shack” was the top-selling fiction and audio book of 2008 in America through November 30.
Personal
Young currently resides in Happy Valley, Oregon with his wife. Young has six children ages 16-29, two daughters-in-law and 3 grandchildren.
In an interview with World Magazine's Susan Olasky, Young, who is no longer a member of a church, said "(The institutional church) doesn't work for those of us who are hurt and those of us who are damaged. . . . If God is a loving God and there's grace in this world and it doesn't work for those of us who didn't get dealt a very good hand in the deck, then why are we doing this? . . . Legalism within Christian or religious circles doesn't work very well for people who are good at it. And I wasn't very good at it."
An article in Maclean's magazine in August 2008 indicated that Young, is a "Canadian raised from birth by his missionary parents in Dutch New Guinea, Young was sexually abused by some of the people his parents preached to, as he was again back home, at a Christian boarding school. Young drifted through life as an adult, buoyed a little by his faith and a lot by his wife, Kim, keeping his secrets and building his shack: 'the place we make to hide all our crap,' he calls it. Until, at 38, he found himself at the nadir. 'I had a three-month affair with one of my wife's best friends. That was it, that just blew my careful little religious world apart. I either had to get on my knees and deal with my wife's pain and anger or kill myself.'
Willie's Personal Journey
We live in a world where ‘normal’ does not truly exist except as an idea or concept. For each of us, where and how we grew up plays a foundational role in our sense of ‘normal’, and only when we begin to experience the ‘bigness and diversity’ of the world are we tempted to evaluate our roots. I thought the way I grew up was ‘normal’ but I think most would probably agree that my history and journey have been a bit unusual.
I was the eldest of four, born May 11th, 1955, in Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada, but the majority of my first decade was lived with my missionary parents in the highlands of Netherlands New Guinea (West Papua), among the Dani, a technologically stone age tribal people. These became my family and as the first white child and outsider who ever spoke their language, I was granted unusual access into their culture and community. Although at times a fierce warring people, steeped in the worship of spirits and even occasionally practicing ritualistic cannibalism, they also provided a deep sense of identity that remains an indelible element of my character and person. By the time I was flown away to boarding school at age 6, I was in most respects a white Dani.
In the middle of a school year, my family unexpectedly returned to the West. My father worked as a Pastor for a number of small churches in Western Canada and by the time I graduated, I had already attended thirteen different schools. I paid my way through Bible College working as a radio disc jockey, lifeguard and even a stint in the oil fields of northern Alberta. I spent one summer in the Philippines and another touring with a drama troupe before working in Washington D.C. at Fellowship House, an international guest house. Completing my undergraduate degree in Religion, I graduated summa cum laude from Warner Pacific College in Portland, Oregon. The following year, I met and married Kim Warren and for a time worked on staff at a large suburban church while attending seminary.
I have owned businesses and worked for others in diverse industries, from insurance to construction, venture capital companies to telecom, contract work to food processing; whatever was needed to help feed and house my growing family. I have always been a writer, whether songs, poetry, short stories or newsletters; never for public consumption but for friends and family. While I have extensively written for business, creating web content, business plans, white papers etc., The Shack was a story written for my six children, with no thought or intention to publish. It is as much a surprise to me as to anyone else that I am now an ‘author’.
Overall, I am a very simple guy; I have one wife, six kids, two daughter-in-laws and two grandkids on the way. I work as a general manager, janitor and inside sales guy for a friend who owns a small manufacturers rep company in Milwaukie, Oregon, and I live in a small rented house in Gresham, Oregon, that Kim has made into a marvelous home. My time is spent loving the people that are a part of my life. I am not connected, or a part, or a member of, or involved inside any sort of organization or movement anywhere. The truth is that I doubt anyone would want me. From my perspective that is a very positive thing… for both of us. I have lots of incredible friends, and now you are one of those. Oh yeah… and I wrote this book.
These are some of the facts of my life, but they don’t begin to tell the real story. That would take much more room than is available here. The journey has been both incredible and unbearable, a desperate grasping after grace and wholeness. These facts don’t tell you about the pain of trying to adjust to different cultures, of life losses that were almost too staggering to bear, of walking down railroad tracks at night in the middle of winter screaming into the windstorm, of living with an underlying volume of shame so deep and loud that it constantly threatened any sense of sanity, of dreams not only destroyed but obliterated by personal failure, of hope so tenuous that only the trigger seemed to offer a solution. These few facts also do not speak to the potency of love and forgiveness, the arduous road of reconciliation, the surprises of grace and community, of transformational healing and the unexpected emergence of joy. Facts alone might help you understand where a person has been, but often hide who they actually are.
The Shack will tell you much more about me than a few facts ever could. In some ways my life is partly revealed in both characters—Willie and Mack. But an author is always more. I hope that someday we can share a cup of coffee, or for me, an extra hot chai tea with soy. If that happens, and if you want, I will tell you a little more about the bigger story and you can tell me some of yours.
That about sums up my life. For me, everything is about Jesus and Father and the Holy Spirit, and relationships, and life is an adventure of faith lived one day at a time. Any aspirations, visions and dreams died a long time ago and I have absolutely no interest in resurrecting them (they would stink by now anyway). I have finally figured out that I have nothing to lose by living a life of faith. I know more joy every minute of every day than seems appropriate, but I love the wastefulness of my Papa’s grace and presence. For me, everything in my life that matters, is perfect!

Lieber Markus,
vielen lieben Dank für diesen Beitrag.
Ich hatte vor Jahren diesen Buch gelesen und später auch den Film gesehen. Damals war ich Mitglied einer externen gesetzlichen Gemeinde wo nie Gnade sondern nur Leistung gepredigt wurde.
Ich hatte damals das Buch als sehr befreiend empfunden und es war heilsam, Gott und Jesus als liebevoll Persönlichkeiten "kennen zu lernen".
Gut, dass hätte ich wahrscheinlich auch, wenn ich damals die Bibel gelesen hätte. Allerdings wurde in der damaligen "Gemeinde" die Bibel so verdreht ausgelegt, dass ich teilweise Angst hatte die Bibel zu lesen.
Heute bin ich ein Kind Gottes. Ich weiß dass die Errettung ein Geschenk aus Gnade ist, weil Jesus für meine Schuld bezahlt hat.
Ich durfte die letzten Jahre eine Liebesbeziehung mit Jesus aufbauen. Mehr und mehr begreife ich, das die Nachfolge Jesus alles kostet. Aber wenn wir Jesus lieben fällt dies nicht schwer.
Damals empfand ich "Die Hütte" als heilsam. Heute habe ich das Buch und den Film aus meinen Regal genommen.
Danke für die Aufklärung.
@matthias255
Hör bitte nicht auf das was geredet wird, und lass dich nicht beeinflussen.
Du hast durch den Film die Hütte Zugang zu unserem Herrn Jesus Christus 🙏 gefunden.
Siehe es so wie es in der Bibel, dem Wort Gottes geschrieben steht.
Er Jesus Christus hat bei dir angeklopft, und du hast aufgemacht.
Die Wege unseres Herrn sind einfach wunderbar.
Der Herr segne dich und behütet dich auf all deinen Wegen.
Und immer daran denken,
Jesus liebt dich ❤️🙏😇
🙏 AMEN 🙏
@ThomasFuchs7
Vielen Dank! Sehr gut und informativ. Das habe ich alles noch nicht von dem Buche gewußt. Mir war nur bekannt, daß das mystische Inhalte hat. Am Anfang, als ich noch gar nichts davon wußte außer das ist wohl ein ziemlich beliebtes Buch aus dem christlichen Bereich ist und daß eine Bekannte von uns es zu Weihnachten bekommen hatte war ich noch überrascht, daß ich es einmal in einer Buchhandlung zufällig gesehen habe und es in einem Esoterikregale stand. Ich fragte mich, was das soll.
Mache bitte weiterhin so gute Videos.
Es reute Gott 1Mo 6,6+7 4Mo 23,19 1Sam 15,11+25 Gott redet mit menschlicher Ausdrucksweise und vergleicht sein Verhalten mit menschlichen Verhaltensweisen. Er benutzt Begriffe, die an unsere Begrenztheit angelehnt sind, damit wir überhaupt etwas von seinem Wirken verstehen können. Das Wort reute drückt dieses tiefe Seufzen und die innerlich empfundene Traurigkeit aus. „Hchhh… was machen die nur?“
Hmm… Abgesehen davon, daß das 2 verschiedene Sprachen sind ist der Seiende die genaue Übersetzung von ho ōn. Das heißt nämlich nicht: „der Sohn des Menschen, der im Himmel ist“, sondern „der Sohn des Menschen, der Seiende (=Jahweh (der Seiende oder Unwandelware)) in den Himmeln.“, „der einzigartige Sohn, der Seiende (Ich war, bin und werde sein, der ich war, bin und sein werde, Jahweh.) im Schoße des Vaters.“
“GOTT niemand gesehen jemals; der einzigartige Sohn (nicht Gott oder der Gott ist Das würde heißen, daß er vor der Schöpfung durch Geburt ins Dasein kam und irgendwann Gott wurde.) der Seiende (Jahweh) im Schoße des Vaters, der hat kundgemacht (oder als Redner ausgeführt oder beschrieben oder ausgelegt oder gedeutet oder gezeigt oder Auskunft erteilt oder berichtet oder erzählt exegēsato).“ Hi 33,23+24
„aus ihm ist der Christos, dem Fleische nach, der Seiende über allem, Gott (Nicht der oder ein Gott. Der Fehlende Artikel bezeichnet den Inhalt. Joh 1,1 Hebr 1,1)“
„Wir danken Dir, Herr der Gott, der Allesbeherrscher, der Seiende und der war, daß Du“
Der hinduistische Name ist natürlich inakzeptabel!
Off 4,3 umd alle anderen Stellen, an denen Gott gesehen wird ist natürlich der Sohn.
Nicht hysterisch. Sehr gut. Das ist ja auch genausowenig eine vernünftige medizinische Diagnose wie schizophren.
Gott segne Dich und alle deine Lieben.
@ohl84
Lieber Markus,
ich habe den Film damals, als ich kein Christ war, nicht gesehen, weil bereits der Trailer massivste Störgefühle in mir ausgelöst hat.
Die Gefahr, die ich in solchen Werken sehe, liegt bereits in den Gedanken, die sie auslösen. Ähnlich wie "Denk nicht an ein rotes Feuerwehrauto".
Heute als Christ, der auch unter Einbeziehung deiner Arbeit, sich nahezu täglich mit AT und NT auseinandersetzt und verstehen will, sehe ich, dass mein damaliges Störgefühl absolut berechtigt war.
Ich hätte mir den Film nie angeschaut. Danke für dein Video. 🙈
Verzeih mir meine unpräzise Ausdrucksweise, aber "Die Hütte" ist tatsächlich reiner Regenbogenfliwatüt.
Ernsthaft ausgedrückt: Geht nur eine Seele durch ein solches Machwerk verloren, und das ist nicht abwegig, blutet mir das Herz. Ich finde es entsetzlich. 😓
@bewaffneterJens
Ich will was loswerden und zwar besuche ich erst seit kurzen bei uns eine Gemeinde. Und davor habe ich auch geglaubt das Gott Liebe ist.
Jetzt nachdem ich mich mehr und mehr in die christliche Leere rein gesteigert habe und nach dem Film dein Video angeguckt habe.
Muss ich sagen danke! Du hast mir die Augen geöffnet wie babarisch und wiedersprüchlich das Ganze ist!
Liegt nicht an dir persönlich deine Videos sind sehr sehr gut gemacht, aber ich kamm ins Nachdenken. Und habe erkannt wie ihr über die Liebe denkt und dass ihr eigentlich alle nichts dabei fühlt. Ihr seht nicht mit euerem Herzen ihr befolgt nur irgendwelche Befehle um braf eure Belohnung zu erhalten und um nicht bestraft zu werden. Wow!
Eigentlich hatte ich einen Meter langen Text verfasst aber das sollte reichen! Ich bin fertig damit.
DANKE NOCHMALS! UND DAS IST MEIN VOLLER ERNST!

@sunnyPeti66
"Die Hütte" las ich zu meinen Esoterikzeiten. Da fand ich das Buch merkwürdig und es landete mit allen Esoterikbüchern, Götzen usw in der Tonne. Den Film kenne ich nicht. Ich bin gespannt auf deine Auslegung....
Nachtrag: Danke❣️🙏💗
@anetajung2798
Die Begeisterung für den Film habe ich nie verstanden. Zwar gefühlvoll und tolle Bilder, aber von der Erkenntnis her verschwommen und widersprüchlich. Danke, lieber Markus, dass du das so sachlich ausbuchstabiert hast. Ich bin da voll bei dir.
@martinalietz8124
Danke Markus. Zum Glück hat Gott mich damals bewahrt und ich habe viele Dinge überlesen die mir hätten schaden können. Es ist lange her.Wusste gar nicht dass das Buch noch aktuell ist. Gott hat dir wirklich einen messerscharfen Verstand geschenkt. Danke für deine Ausführungen. Das hat mir die Augen geöffnet. Gott hat dich zum Segen gesetzt. Dein Dienst ist sehr wertvoll.
@woodworm1081
Vielen Dank für die sehr detaillierte, wertschätzende und doch bibeltreue Rezension mit klaren biblischen Belegen. Gott segne Deinen Dienst ❤
@sigurdholler4703
In einem kann ich zustimmen: allein auf „die Hütte“ seinen/ihren Glauben aufzubauen, ist fahrlässig. Ich selbst habe das Buch und den Film als wiedergeborener Christ gelesen und gesehen. Ich habe nicht zwischen den Zeilen gelesen, habe aber auch nicht das Gefühl bekommen, unbewusst auf den falschen Weg umgeleitet worden zu sein. Das liegt wahrscheinlich daran, dass ich beides aus meiner christlichen Brille betrachtet habe, indem ich die bibeltreuen Stellen als Bestätigung meines Weges angesehen habe und den Rest als „Kreativität“ der Verfasser abgetan habe. Für mich war das Thema Vergebung einer von vielen Punkten, die mir wichtig waren. Die vermittelte „Allvergebung“ habe ich gar nicht bewusst wahrgenommen, weil ich daran nie geglaubt habe. Und ich habe in meinem christlichen Umfeld niemanden gehabt, der den Film gesehen und sich diesbezüglich geäußert hat.
Ihr Beitrag - so wertvoll er auch erscheinen mag - verstärkt in mir eher die Zweifel, ob ich mich noch auf dem richtigen Weg befinde oder schon abgedriftet bin. Anscheinend sehen einige Menschen eher die Aufgabe zu zeigen, wo andere Menschen sich irren, als zu versuchen, das Evangelium in einfachen und überzeugenden Worten an den Mann oder die Frau zu bringen. Ich bin überzeugt davon, dass Menschen, die behaupten, das Evangelium 100-prozentig bibeltreu zu vermitteln, sich auch irren können und daher gegebenenfalls auch als hochmütig anzusehen sind. Gerade darum ist es wichtig, dass ein jeder selbst in der Heiligen Schrift liest und prüft.
@__amy__
Bitte bitte mehr solcher Videos. Die sind immer soo aufklärend und hilfreich in so vielen Bereichen! Es hilft einfach ungemein dabei, sich und das was um einen herum so passiert und einen beeinflusst zu hinterfragen und einzuordnen. 🙈🙉🙊
Ps. Und übrigens: ich wollte dir (Markus) schon immer mal sagen, dass du wirklich eine Begabung hast, Dinge und Themen liebevoll, aber trotzdem klar und verständlich zu erklären und damit so wunderbar für die Wahrheit einstehst. Das ist so unglaublich wertvoll. Soli deo gloria! 🙏🏽
LG. 😊

Das stimmt, Bruder Voss spricht wirklich sehr friedfertig und wenn auch sagt bzw. sagen muss, dass dies oder jenes falsch oder völlig falsch ist oder gar nicht geht, so doch immer ohne jeden aggressiv-wirkenden Unterton, Habitus ...
