Worth reading: I read this book over a year ago and still it speaks to me. It is a good book that sticks with you and impacts your life. Excellent!
White man keepin' the brother down...again.: I finished Deadline in three days, which is a fast pace for me, and I loved it. I then rushed out to the library and checked out Dominion, thinking that it would be just as good. It's not. In this modern world of blame everthing on the white man - there is no need to take responsibility for your own actions, I find this tiring! My only solace is that "racism" has been called so often over recent years that it is only taken seriously when it actually exists - as opposed to a few years ago, when if a minority called someone a racist is was taken for granted as being a fact, and if you questioned the label in a particular instance, you were called racist too. The worst part of this book is when the protagonist from Deadline, Jake, has the audacity to apologize for the prepetuation of racism. It reminded me of a few years ago when Martin Sheen apologized to Japan for the us dropping the bomb on them in WW2. Alcorn's writing is fantasitic, and if you want to read something by him read Deadline. Dominion is just too full of white guilt.
Not As Good As Deadline, But Very Good!: Randy Alcorn writes as well as any author in the world. He transports you into his story so well, his novels are like the "transporters" on the show Star Trek, that beamed you up or down into another location. I am amazed at how believable the character of Clarence Abernathy was; an incredible feat by a man that looks as white as Al Gore. Sorry Randy, couldn't resist that little dig. Seriously folks - this novel is very good. Very good indeed! Peace-out! Nero's Guard is watching! Always remember that.
Great book: First off I have to say I loved the scenes about heaven. Second to those who thought that the book was only about race, they need to look a little deeper. I never took it as blaming whites for the problems of blacks at all, in fact to me it reminded me more than ever that we are all brothers and sisters regardless of color. Alcorn is my favorite author of all time.
Excellent Book!: For anyone endeavoring to improve race relations in America, this book is a must read! Alcorn is one of my favorite Christian authors. While this book is over 600 pages, it is well worth the effort to make time to read. It touched my life and I plan to read other books by Randy Alcorn. I liked the way Alcorn so vividly addressed the many racial problems in America. Clarance Abernathy, the main characther, a conservative black American, seems to be so real and genuine. The scenes in heaven by his deceased sister and loved ones is most poignant. Keep up the great work Randy Alcorn and may God bless your ministry...Eternal Perspective Ministries.
