Description
I read this book when it was first published in 1994. A friend gave it to me. I didn’t even know who Randy Alcorn was at that time. I really was impressed with the way he drew you into the mystery and at the same time gave you a thought-provoking insight into what heaven might be like. Since then, I heard about him from his book called Heaven. I picked up this book, Deadline, to reread it several years ago, and discovered it was by Randy Alcorn. I didn’t know until last year that he had written two more in the series, Dominion and Deception (my all-time favorite). This book focuses on the issues of liberalism (abortion, tolerance, man’s truth versus God’s truth) and the lies that it brings which can cause great pain and heartache to those who believe them. I highly recommend this book!

The last sensation he felt was that of being crushed between the two men he had known since childhood… ”
