Publisher's summary

Here is a soul-stirring story of two college friends who reconnect after 20 years. One is living life apart from God, in comfortable corporate America; the other is living for Christ under intense persecution in China. This challenging book will convince readers to live in the light of eternity.

Very thought provoking

Though this is a fiction, it is very thought provoking as you have to know this has gone on in the other countries and very well may come back to haunt the good old USA,

Appreciate your religious freedom.

Eye opening!

Wonderful book. Great narration. But most of all eye opening to the suffering many believers go through. And yet, God is so faithful and empowers them to not only look beyond the present to the glorious future, but also fills them with a love for those around them and a passion to share God’s redemptive love with others. After the book comes to a close however, for some reason it repeats the last about 47 minutes or so. I’m assuming that’s an error.

Think about it!

Honey do you know where the remote control is?...we live a pampered life. Our concerns are often inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. Safely home provides a window through which you can see circumstances from a different perspective, one that will let you vicariously experience a life with a different foundation.

Dont Miss This - Top Tier

What did you love best about Safely Home?

The speakers were right on and professional with great nuance and interpretation. Coupled with the music overlay, it was a great experience.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Safely Home?

The impact of the storyline and the depth of character development provided a strong ending which is memorable and satisfying.

Which character – as performed by Steve Sever – was your favorite?

Ben came across as real, fierce, and in trauma a formidable business man who struggles more with himself than circumstances he finds himself in as he seeks value in life.

If you could take any character from Safely Home out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Ming - a man with deep convictions and profound history of Christianity. There will be a great host of men and women like this who suffered, quietly and now rejoices loudly in heaven.

Any additional comments?

Great job on all fronts, story, characters, voices, and music. Thanks for the good experience.

Fantastic book. Eye opening.

This is how we should live as followers of Jesus. Let this book inspire you to live a life for Him. That is my desire from now on. Praise Jesus.

Very well written and performed!

My mother and I listened to this book together and plan to share it with the next two generations of our family. It makes you think differently about the freedoms we are throwing away in America and the faith of our brothers and sisters in other countries.

Randy Alcorn really knows how to use good fiction to teach Biblical truths!
