Summary: Why I wrote this book and what it deals with
Review: This book took me by surprise. I have long been a fan of C. S. Lewis and have read several times his classic Screwtape Letters. But I had no intention of writing such a book myself. Then, over a period of a month in my own Bible study I kept reading the words of God and asking myself, what do demons want us to believe instead of this? By creating this contrast of truth and deception, I was amazed at how much clarity it brought to what God was actually saying. The next thing I knew I was writing out letters from one demon to another, in Screwtape style, and the book started to form. Originally I thought it would it would be letters only, like Screwtape, but the more I considered it, the more powerful I thought it would be if the book had a full-fledged story line, with characters, setting and a sense of immediacy that would hook the reader and get him more in touch with the reality of spiritual warfare. My goal was to plant a bugging device in Hell's war room, to eavesdrop on the tactical discussions of demons strategizing how to deceive and destroy us. It was a remarkable process. Spiritual warfare is more real to me than it's ever been, and I think I'm more alert to the Enemy's landmines-it's been encouraging to hear readers say the same. Lord Foulgrin's Letters is designed to help the reader know God, know yourself, and know your enemy. I hope you enjoy it, and that it makes a difference in your life. (If you want to hear the inside scoop on the book, and the reasons behind it, see Foulgrin.com or read the Afterword, which I originally designed as an Introduction, but moved to the back because I thought most readers might want to plunge directly into the story.) If you read Lord Foulgrin's Letters, please email me and let me know what you think. Thanks!

Summary: Real Life Fiction ?
Review: This is a must read for mature Christians. It's the Screwtape Letters version 2000. If you liked the Screwtape Letters (STL), you'll love this. I recommend you read the STL first. It will make you appreciate Randy Alcorn's work that much more. Like the STL, this book is a collection of correspondances between a middle-management demon, Lord Foulgrin, and his subordinate. In each letter, the elder demon gives examples of how best to attact the humans in order to ensure that their souls go to hell. Alcorn's insight into human nature is so representative that it is sometimes scary. For those who are confident in the rightousness of their daily living, this book may give you an entirely new insight. It raises the standards for Christian living and shows many vices the devil uses to work us over, that have long been forgotten by many. Unlike the STL, this is very easy to read and not nearly as intellectual as Lewis'. Lord Foulgrin's Letters are also accompanied by a story line featuring the humans that Lord Foulgrin and his assistant are working on. This has been the most enjoyable book I've read in years.

Summary: Outstanding
Review: This is easily the best fiction book that Randy has ever written. There are several folks who will argue that it was Deadline and Dominion - and while those are great too - *this* book made me want to change my walk with the Lord. *This* book made me want to go after holiness in a way that I had never desired to before. Do you want to be challenged? Do you want a glimpse into what is really going on in the spirit realm? Read this book!

Summary: Excellent Story
Review: This is one of those stories that can change the way you look at your own every day life. If you allow yourself to really explore the areas of your life which are lacking, you will find yourself many times in this story. I think this book is a must-read for any new Christian wanting to understand how the enemy is still working to distract Christians from their destiny.

Summary: Makes you think...
Review: This was an excellent book! It really made me think about God, angels, demons, and spiritual warfare. It also made me think of all the times that I have been decieved by the devil, and have not even known it until later! This book is based on The Screwtape Letters, a book by C.S. Lewis. Lord Foulgrin's Letters centers around the life of a middle-aged man named Jordan Fletcher and his family, which consists of his wife, daughter Jillian, and his son. Jordan Fletcher had always felt like something was missing in his life. Unfortunately, he did not know what that something was until much later. Although he was a successful business man, and had almost everything that he wanted, he just could not figure out what he was missing. Unknown to Fletcher, someone is watching someone...and that someone does not have Fletcher's best interests in mind. Somone is trying is plotting his downfall and trying to destroy him. Someone that human eyes cannot see is assigned to him and is trying to keep him in the dark. A demon (a fallen angel) named Squaltient has been assigned to Fletcher and is trying to keep Fletcher from realizing that God loves him. Not only is Squaltient trying to keep Jordan from seeing the truth, but his boss, a demon named Lord Foulgrin, is also trying to destroy Jordan! As you read this book, you will see letters that Foulgrin writes to Squaltient, instructing him on how to make Jordan and his family hate eachother, how to keep Fletcher from becoming a Christian, and many other things. One of the things that I liked about this book was how Alcorn gave his characters depth. Jordan Fletcher seems like a confused, selfish, and angry man at first, but later on in this story, he has a real change of mind and heart. His wife acts just like a sad and frustrated women who is not a Christian would. Foulgrin seems like an angry, evil, blood-thirsty villain. If you want to read a great book that gives you a better prespective on the visible and invisible war that rages everyday, than read this book!

Summary: thank you Mr. Alcorn
Review: This was the only book I have ever read that actually made me weep when I finished reading it. The only book I ever read that made me fall to my knees and pray and the only book I ever read that made me desire to dig deep into the Bible, put on the full armor of God and humble myself in repentance. Inspired by C.S Lewis and influenced by Spurgeon, Edwards, Packer, Piper and Colson...you have to read this book.
