Summary: Great Read!
Review: I thought dominion was an honest attempt to portary the racial issues that affect today's church and community. I think Alcorn creatively offers a somewhat viable solution to the race problem in light of biblical theology. As an African-American, it still saddens me that some white envangelicals can love the Bible and miss the need for compassion, repentance, and reconciliation in Christ. Alcorn is right in that many Christians did particpate in slavery, Jim Crowism and even racism today. This is sin! However, once again, in the name of being biblical, some evangelicals would rather stick their heads in the sand and claim "sola scriptura" instead of practicing "true Christianity". I applaud Alcorn for raising the racial issues without excusing African-American Christians on their need to forgive (a point I thought he did not soften!). The American church will hang her head in shame before God if she doesn't come face to face with this issue.

Summary: A good read for African-Americans--but not me.
Review: I was intrigued at first and I was impressed with how well Alcorn was in tune with the Black people. However, the book focused too much on race for me to enjoy. Perhaps, if I was brought up in the inner city or was a member of the Black race I would rate this book with 5 stars. But it was hard to identify with the main characters. I stopped reading half way and gave it to an African-American friend of mine who may get more out of it than myself.

Summary: Dominion by Randy Alcorn
Review: It was an excellent book; one of the best I have read besides Deadline. It made me think about issues that I needed to deal with that never occured to me before. In the middle of reading this book, I went to Amazon to buy any other book they had that Randy Alcorn wrote.

Summary: An honest view of God's love shared through His children.
Review: It was awesome! It was great to see main characters that walked what they believed regardless of color. Even though God doesn't see color when He sees us, we do. It is important for each of us to understand each other. That understanding comes from knowing where each of us has been and why we are affected by certain events the way that we are. God's love is best characterized by Clarance's father, who is a walking testament of it. If we could all love like that, we could reach the whole world for Christ!

Summary: Absolutely the best Christian fiction of our generation.
Review: Mr. Alcorn pulls no punches in this exciting novel about a successful black conservative Christian man and his search for his place in the world as well as the truth about his sister's murder. I have never read a more intelligent dialogue of what it is to be black in America and how all the forces that shape one man's life work both for and against him. Mr. Alcorn also gives a wonderfully refreshing view of life after death that will cause even the most adamant athiest to long for the Home for which he was created. This is by far the best Christian fiction I have read. Mr. Alcorn stands among the likes of C.S. Lewis, JRR Tolkien, George MacDonald, and Tom Clancy. This may seem like an unusual combination of comparative authors but his approach to realism can only be compared to Mr. Clancy's style, his originality to Mr. Tolkien, and his theology to Mr. Lewis and Mr. MacDonald. This is an absolute must-read for any serious Christian.
Rating:
Summary: Excellent characters and plot; heavy political/racial agenda
Review: Randy Alcorn has done an excellent job of creating an absorbing plot, peopled with realistic, three-dimensional characters. However, the constant intrusion of comments about race relations and the black experience in America are at first distracting and then annoying, as they do absolutely nothing to advance the plot. In a book of this type one expects the standard conservative fundamentalist Christian agenda; it comes with the territory. But add on top of that the repetitive and unnecessary narration of events of black history, and we end up with a lot of extra verbiage which in my opinion does nothing but add extra pages to what is otherwise a good, multidimensional story.
Rating:
Summary: Engaging. Thought Provoking. Fine Literature.
Review: Randy Alcorn has succeeded in transferring Biblical knowledge about Christ, heaven, angels, the human condition, etc. into an exciting, fast-paced, page turner. The reader is drawn into the world of Clarence Abernathy, and more importantly, into the unseen world of his departed loved-ones. The descriptions of heaven and what life there might be like are so vivid that they make believers long for the day when they will step across the threshold into the light of the full day. This book is an important study for every believer in that it places a priority on things eternal. It is also excellent for the non-believer in that it helps them understand the hope of our calling and the unseen (but far more real) spiritual world. Regardless, it should be read by all because it is well written, interesting and fine fiction.
