Summary: Not As Good As Deadline, But Very Good!
Review: 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.

Summary: Love Sees No Color? Not True!
Review: Randy Alcorn writes fiction with more lessons than a month of Sunday sermons. Although bordering on preachiness at times, he manages to work the lessons in around a detailed and believable plot, thus allowing us to swallow the medicine he delivers. Through the eyes of a black reporter in Portland, OR, Alcorn tells a mystery revolving around the murder of one of the reporter's relatives. The story, though heavy and thought-provoking, gives glimpses of hope and the rewards of the hereafter. In "Dominion," Alcorn tackles racism head on. I, like the characters in the book, live in Oregon, but Alcorn really opened my eyes to the reality of this issue still present in our society. He doesn't retreat from the tough questions, he faces them with wisdom and courage. He refuses to whitewash the skin issue; instead, he shows us that love does see color, and learns to appreciate others for their differences. By acting color blind, we only reveal our deep-seeded prejudice and miss out on the beauty of God's colorful creation. Alcorn's writing is tight and well-characterized. In particular, his ghetto and gang scenes are effective without resorting to profanity. The book is long, but worth the effort. The rewards are there in every way, and the story will linger in your mind for a long time. A mystery? Yes. A treatise on respect for all races? Yes. A great read? Yes. Alcorn, again, delivers with tough and timely storytelling.

Summary: The book was slow and unmoving, it lacked intensity for me
Review: This book grabbed me emotionally at first when his sister was gunned downed. The rest was a long dull blurrrr with moments that came and went. I'm glad the others enjoyed it, but I didn't. It took me forever to read it. Normally when I like a book, I can't put it down. This one I couldn't pick up. It also suprises me that Randy is not black. That cover he did well, because reading the book you just felt that the author was black. Anyway, sorry on this one Randy, I couldn't hang and now I'm afraid to try any more for fear they'll be sleepers to.

Summary: SERIOUS READERS ONLY
Review: This book had a profound impression on my views of the redemption of the gang culture, the depths of race divisions, God's purpose through every circumstance, and how close heaven is to us all. The theme of dominion forges through every character and situation. The length of the book (600 plus pages) and exhaustive treatment of various theological and social issues requires a committed reader. A rich read.

Summary: Why he's one of the best!
Review: This book had the heart rate going a few times! Man, Randy Alcorn knows how to keep your attention! He also knows how to lift the spirit, than let us know who is in charge and why.
He takes a friend of journalist, Jake Woods, and gives us that is just as equal to "Deadline"! We join Clarence Abernathy in his search for justice. He teams up with Ollie Chandler, who seems to be a hick. But the two forge an unforgettable friendship, as well as a good team! This book takes you into the heart of racism, then power drives it with a force that can't be stopped. I really liked how Obadiah (Clarence's father) simply talked about the good old days, especially the part about Negro League Baseball. He talks about Hank Aaron along with Cool Papa Bell, and tells about the earth shattering home runs of Josh Gibson. You read baseball books, you know this isn't just made up stuff. We are also given verses of "Amazing Grace" and other tunes that just light up your world, and God's world! To make matters more interesting and more sumptuous, he gives a tempting decription of home cooking, with more than just corn bread and chicken!
Alcorn writes something that probably won't be popular with all audiences, but he doesn't have to worry about that. This was never a skin issue, but a SIN issue, and when it comes down to it, when does it end? What will the body of Christ do about it? More heart pounding illustrations from Randy Alcorn make "Dominion" demanded to be read, today and tomorrow. It is why he is one of the best out there! Well done!

Summary: Dominion
Review: This book is superb, intense and the biblical life applications for use in todays life is heartfelt. I loved this book along with Deadline. I am at a loss for words to properly get across the whole sense of these 2 books. I also came away with a sense of peace on some of the issues he addressd.

Summary: Excellent Literature, Superbly Written
Review: This is a tremendous book. The writing is excellent, and the story is compelling. It is a great novel, regardless of subject matter... as Christian literature it is at the very top! I found it hard to put down. I was caught by the characters, mesmerized by the view of heaven and the spiritual dimension, and compelled to review my thoughts and actions on race in America in a fresh way. PLEASE WRITE MORE!
