‘The Shack' giftware to come

Ancillary products related to publishing phenomenon The Shack should be on store shelves before Christmas.

Publisher Windblown Media hopes to finalize licensees soon, with T-shirts and stationery likely to be among the items tied in to the best-selling novel by William P. Young. 

Original plans to release products in time for last Christmas were shelved to make sure that only those that helped further the message of the book were approved, said Windblown Media Publisher Brad Cummings.

"We are excited that The Shack is becoming iconic of an encounter with God, but we didn't want to just put an icon of The Shack on whatever we could," he said."We want them to be things that are in sync with what we are doing."

Under consideration are T-shirts, note cards and greeting cards featuring art from a planned gift edition of the book.
