Safely Home

This book is excellent, and like all excellent books it is worth listening to, or reading, again. The narrator, or narrators, do an excellent job with different voices for the characters. This book left me with two major impressions:

One was the importance of laying up treasures in heaven instead of worrying about earthly treasures. The other impression this book left me with was the possiblity that if I die of a heart attack, cancer, accident, etc. that I might actually question God, why I was not so fortunate as to have the opportunity to be be put to death for my faith in Him.

I thought this book was purely fiction, but my minister said that it is based on a true story.

This is among the best books I have ever listened to or read - it does a superb job of showing how to live our earthly life with an eternal perspective.

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.

This fictional book intertwining the lives of an American businessman and his old college roommate in China is a powerful story that will challenge the status quo of American materialism and Christianity. It leaves the Christian reader with a hunger, yearning, and exciting for our true home.

This story starts off slow and then captivates you with moral twists and turns. You really get a feel for the perscuted Christians in China.

Alcorn does a great job of weaving in truths and apologetic and chinese Chistian proverbs.
My favorite proverb in the the book is: " Real gold fears no fire."

Set back and step into the lives of to college friends that impact each other in very different ways and differently at various seasons of their lives.

THE DEATH OF THE HERO

ALTHOUGH THIS IS FICTION, IT IS STILL AN EYE OPENER TO THE CONDITION OF PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS AROUND THE WORL.

Yes, I already have listened to it twice. Second time with my wife. There are so many quotable lines in the book, that I wanted to hear them again. Also, I often find that by listening again, I gain even more.

Li Quan for sure. His unwavering faith yet honest fears was so winsome.

Even though not every voice was masterful, it was amazing how many voices he did well, and it helped make the story more exciting than if I had just read it alone.

Yes.

I plan to listen to Alcorn's other novels as well.

It was written in a very Bible believing perspective. The Christian life is not easy, but a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus can make anyone in this world a conquerer!

I'll probably hear this again just for encouragement.

No I think the accents served to make the audible version very real to me

Chen of course!

No

Real gold fears no fire

If you don't get convicted about how little we share our own faith or risk our own reputations here in America for the cause of Christ it will be a miracle!

This book DID rivet me to my seat. I should have been more social with the people I was driving for a 5 hour trip, but once I started listening to this book, I couldn't. I became "one" with this story. And now, with the news of Chen Guangcheng, blind Chinese activist, who is revealing the truth about forced abortions and deaths in China, it makes it even more timely. Religious freedom is something the west takes for granted. This book makes that pretty clear what can happen when those freedoms are gone.

Probably because of the creativity of the reader as he portrayed the characters. I probably wouldn't do that quietly in my brain as I read! Plus, I am an extremely busy person who likes to have books "on the go" to accommodate my multi-tasking lifestyle.

No... I'd be interested to though:)

When the main character arrived in heaven and all the dots were connected for him.

Thank you for making this excellent book available on audio!
Also, thank you to Randy Alcorn for a wonderful story!
