Customer Reviews

Awesome! A must-read!

I've read some of Alcorn's books before and found them somewhat interesting. However, I couldn't put "Edge of Eternity" down. After the bible I think this book impacted my life the most. It really got me thinking. Even after a couple of months passages come back to my mind. I've placed Randy Alcorn on my list of favorite authors, with Ted Dekker, Frank Peretti, Alton Gansky and C.S.Lewis. This is definitely a book for those who like fantasy, allegory and out of the ordinary fiction. It really inspired me to keep on following the Red Road home.

Best book I've ever read

I have a hard time finding books that will keep my interest. This one had me hooked on the first page. I couldn't put the book down. I highly highly recommend this book.

Enchanting, Enlightening and Astonishing!

This book reads like your worse nightmare and your most beatific dream. Protagonist Nick Seagrave, an ex-Marine, Nam vet, and Mr. Tough Businessman is cast into a surreal world of windows and portals, instantly blending visions of beauty and delight with the horrors of hell. In utter helplessness he is chased by a brutal pterodactyl, cringing in a cave, where he reads a cryptic three-line message: "FORWARD" "RED ROAD HOME" "BE CAREFUL WHO YOU TRUST". His journey through this world of windows, and the people and spiritual beings he meets unfolds the story of the Fall of the Image-Bearers, the Price Paid for Redemption, the lies of the Pretender, and the ultimate Triumph of the King. You will find it hard to put this book down, and be utterly refreshed at the end as you were confused at the beginning. So spiritually uplifting, and a tale to cherish as we walk the red road home.

Should be 10 stars!

This is a book I hope and pray I'll never forget. The writing is brilliant and the message compelling. The author has a vivid imagination that he uses to the fullest to present a picture of Heaven, Hell, and the choices we make day by day on this Earth. I couldn't recommend this book more highly to anyone searching for truth or meaning in his/her life.

Out of this World

I finished reading this book two days ago and the vivid images burned in my mind from the book are still quite fresh. I felt as though I had just gotten off a roller coaster when I put the book down. The book just drew me in. I was on the planet Thuros walking alongside Nick Seagrave (the main character).Nick Seagrave mysteriously appears on this planet with a red sun and two moons and embarks on an eventful journey on the red road to Charis. It is very reminiscent of Christian in The Pilgram's Progress. I found it to be very colorful and imaginative.This book caused me to reflect on my relationship with the Creator of the universe (World Maker, the book calls Him). Edge of Eternity paints a beautiful picture of Christ's crucifixion and resurrection in a way that you would probably never imagine unless you read this book.Is your Christian life lacking the luster you have seen in other Christian's lives? Are you feeling defeated by the world, your flesh, the devil? Read this book. It may change the way you look at your life. It may change the way you see God.Excellent book!
