Carol Stream, IL – Since its release in May 2007, William P. Young’s The Shack (Windblown Media) has gone from a self-published book offered on the Internet to the top of the New York Times Best Seller list with more than one million copies sold. On June 20, the runaway bestseller will begin shipping as an audiobook from Oasis Audio to retail locations across North America, with product available for purchase from most retailers by July 1.

“We’ve been watching The Shack with interest for months, and it just continues to gain momentum,” said Dan Balow, publisher of Oasis Audio. “We have worked closely with Windblown Media to ensure that the audio edition captures the essence of the message and feel of the book.”

Oasis and Windblown tapped Chicago-based actor/narrator Roger Mueller to read The Shack. Mueller appeared in the dramatic audio series Left Behind and has narrated several books, including Randy Alcorn’s Deception. The unabridged audio, which runs 8.5 hours, will be available on 7 CDs for a suggested retail price of $27.99.

Endorsed by such heavyweights as Eugene Peterson who likened the potential effect of the book to the effect of Pilgrim’s Progress, The Shack shares the story of a man whose young daughter disappears on a family vacation and evidence discovered in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness reveals she might have been murdered. Four years later, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for the weekend. Against his better judgment, he arrives at the shack on a wintery afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there changes Mack’s life forever.
