"Good stuff! I only knew of Alcorn's nonfiction stuff before, but now that I've read and enjoyed this work, I'll definitely dabble in more of his novels-- he builds and tells stories really well! I recommend this book, especially to anybody who has ever been part of a newspaper or worked in some area of journalism."

Deadline Listener Reviews
-
" This is a must read for Christians and non-Christians alike - it follows the lives of three friends with different beliefs and lifestyles... "
— Lara, 2/17/2014 -
" Every other chapter was heavy on religion, and soon anti-abortion so mudddled up the storyline that I just couldn't read any more. "
— Sheri, 2/12/2014 -
" This book did a good job covering a variety of issues in an interesting and thoughtful manner. I found, however, that it wasn't as gripping as most suspense books and at times I had to force myself to sit down and read it and the variety of issues seemed somewhat fake/forced as if the author tried to add in twists just so he could give you his take on a certain issue. Overall, a good read though. Would recommend, but wouldn't necessarily read it again. "
— Brielle, 1/21/2014 -
" For someone who only reads at bedtime, I had trouble staying engaged initially because of the two story lines juxtaposed, but once I got into it...WOW. Great statement on our culture's views of the sanctity of life in all areas, including abortion, the aged, the handicapped.... "
— Christi, 1/17/2014 -
" I liked this book. It took me awhile to finish, because the themes Mr. Alcorn addressed in the book inspired a lot of thought. and some interesting introspection on what awaits us in heaven. I'll be reading more from Mr. Alcorn. "
— Karen, 1/2/2014 -
" Outstanding Christian book. Wonderful images of Heaven. One of my favorite books of all time. "
— Deon, 12/21/2013 -
" Though this book is a murder mystery, it brings to mind much thought about heaven and what eternity will really be like. Also addresses the topic of abortion and how it affects the man involved. "
— Barb, 12/16/2013 -
" this is a book that will keep you interested to the end although there were parts that left me squeamish for lack of a better word. However I do recommend it. "

— Bill, 11/5/2013 -
" I really like how this book made me think about things. I've been a Christian my whole life. This have me a didn't perspective on liberalism and what it's "won". "
— Elisabeth, 11/4/2013 -
" This was one of the first Christian fiction books I'd read and the first of Alcorn's. I was hooked. I've shared this book with lots of others who have passed it on to their friends. I'm on my 3rd copy! "

" A book that makes you think is always a great thing. "
— Gardners, 10/22/2012 -
" Not so much a thriller like Ted Dekker's books, but still very interesting. It's amazing how many topics were touched on in this one book: life, death, heaven, hell, abortion, political correctness, divorce, journalism, and the medical community. A thought-provoking read. "
— Susanna, 5/20/2012 -

— Sheri, 5/1/2011 -
" Loved the story. A mystery that keeps you on your toes. Randy gives us a look into heaven during the story also. I put this among my favorites. Be sure to read his next one "Dominion" it is a true mystery also without all the blood, gore, sex and cursing. "
— Pen, 4/27/2011 -
" I liked this book. It took me awhile to finish, because the themes Mr. Alcorn addressed in the book inspired a lot of thought. and some interesting introspection on what awaits us in heaven. I'll be reading more from Mr. Alcorn. "
— Karen, 3/19/2011 -

" Not as good as Safely Home but still a worthwhile read, especially if you want some insight into the media! "
— Leslie, 1/6/2011 -
" Alcorn has such depth in his writing. This is not a fast read. It took me a while, which is unusual for me. I really enjoyed his perspective on heaven, as well as heavenly beings. All in all, a great book! "
— Darlene, 12/30/2010 -
" I did not enjoy this book for the story- that was just ok. But the message makes the book worth reading! "
