As we learn of each man’s background, Alcorn also does well describing the scenes where Woods served in Viet Nam, getting inside the head of a soldier and a man. The other two characters are Doc (Gregory) and Finney. Deadline was the first piece of Alcorn’s fiction I’ve read.ĭeadline starts well with a fast-paced scenes setting the foundation of three men’s life-long friendship, all of whom figure prominently in the book, though reporter Jake Woods is the central character. Coming in at 560 print pages, Heaven is a hefty book, one which I’ve also read. Alcorn is most well-known for his book Heaven, which explores in detail descriptions of heaven gleaned from all over the Bible, along with quotes and commentary from famous preachers and authors. Here is a review of one of the books I’ve read this summer.įirst published in 1994 and re-released in 2009, I’d bought this book on sale for my Kindle.Īlcorn has written The Treasure Principle, a small book of his that I have and We Shall See God: Charles Spurgeon’s Classic Devotional Thoughts on Heaven which I have read. I’ve been making the most of the time off, after spiritual duties and pleasures, to engage in some of my favorite past-times: reading and movie watching. My summer break from school ends on Monday, when I return to work on July 31. My summer began at Memorial Day and for most people the summer still has 5 weeks to go until Labor Day, the traditional ending of the travel and stay-cation season.
