Publisher Description
Best-selling author Randy Alcorn's gripping, action-packed, and intensely spiritual thriller, Edge of Eternity, is now available in abridged form on audio cassette. A disillusioned business executive whose life has hit a dead end, Nick Seagrave has lost loved ones to tragedy and his family to neglect. Now, at a point of great crisis, he unbelievably and inexplicably finds himself transported to what appears to be another world. Suddenly he's confronted with profoundly clear views of his own past and personality. And, he's enabled to see, hear, taste, and smell the realities of both heaven and hell - realities that force him to face dangers and trials far greater than any he's known before. Pitted against flying beasts, a monstrous web that threatens to hold him captive, an evil, brooding intelligence, and undeniable evidence of a spiritual world, Nick must finally consider the God he claims not to believe in. Walking between two worlds, Nick Seagrave prepares to make decisions that will change his life forever as he stands on the Edge of Eternity.

"This is a very profound book. I love it because again it shows how the actions that we take can affect our lives and of those around us. Also it let's us take a peak at the Spiritual world from a Christian point of view. I have read this book several times and plan on reading it again. "

— Jenna, 2/12/2014 -
" Fantastic novel. So many biblical parallels i could not put it down. "
— Andrew, 2/10/2014 -
" This is my favorite book. Period. A must read. "
— Laura, 2/2/2014 -
" Works best when he's just telling the story; when he tries too hard, it can get a little preachy. Obviously the theology won't 100% track--it is an allegory--but it gives you a fresh perspective and a new way of looking at things that can rock you to your core. "
— Rebecca, 1/29/2014 -
" Love this book! This is my second read on it, so good to remind myself God is against evil & there is a supernatural war going on. :) "
— Elise, 1/22/2014 -
" I'm not sure whether the most accurate description of this book is allegory, fiction, or fantasy. It is the story of one man's journey toward the after-life, and if you love C.S. Lewis as much as I do, you will really enjoy this book. "
— Lori, 1/19/2014 -
" Amazing, the symbolizing is thought provoking, and stays with you. A great book to talk with friends about and to see what they got out of it. "

" Very interesting... If you like religious symbolism and having to 'think things through', you'll like this book. "

" Great premise for a book. "
— Carolineb, 11/23/2013 -
" This book is suspenseful, keeps you in the edge of your toes, make you ask the hard questions, and really makes you think about where you're headed for eternity. It also increases awareness of the spiritual realm and opens the spiritual eyes. Great read. "
— Jeremy, 9/24/2013 -

" FABULOUS book. The imagery was amazing, and many truths were well-communicated through the story. Has a very interesting fantasy-genre feel. "
— Melissa, 3/9/2012 -
" Probably one of my favorite books, EVER. It inspired me, moved me, and I dont think my creative side of the brain has EVER worked so hard! My dream is to make this book into a movie and to work as the Production Designer on set. What a challenge and an honor! "
— Bailey, 3/4/2012 -
" This book is an allegory similar to Pilgrim's Progress in its message, but written for 21st century teens. Very thought provoking and an excellent book for discussion. I call it "Pilgrim's Progress, Alcorn Style" Read it together with your high schooler. "
— Beth, 10/9/2011 -
