DESCRIPTION:
Where so much is grasped…and so much more seems unattainable. Driven by a yearning he doesn’t understand, compelled toward a destination he can’t quite see, the traveler navigates the inhospitable landscape with determination and a flicker of something like hope—despite the obstacles that seem to unerringly block his path. Best-selling novelist Randy Alcorn weaves a supernatural interplay of wills and motives, lusts and longings, love and sacrifice. Where the fairest of companions leads the way into unsuspected danger and darkness. Where hidden battles burst into the open. Where invisible secrets come starkly into sight. It’s a potent mix that leaves every reader wondering: Do I really understand this world I live in? Do I really understand myself? Is there more to all this than I’ve ever dared hope?INCLUDES 12 ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS. A Journey He Couldn’t Miss… an
I wanted to kill the men who lusted after her—vile men whose daughters I lusted after." Nothing here tops classic Christian allegories, but noteworthy is a "new creation" view of afterlife: "You will live on a new earth—the old earth made new. . I started pushing and shoving.

Rehash of Edge of Eternity D. Higbee This allegory of a man that experiences death to self through the cross of Christ is nearly a word-for-word rehash of parts of Randy Alcorn's excellent "Edge of Eternity." Somehow I was under the impression that "Chasm" was a sequel. If you have "Edge of Eternity", don't waste your time with "Chasm." "Edge of Eternity" is a complete work, "Chasm" rushes through the story-line, omitting content that made the story more relevant and personal.. "Get the Full book" according to Ben Read. Recently I began doing the whole "blogging for books" thing. I love reading, and I love free books, so I figured I'd give it a go. The first book I got for free is "The Chasm" by Randy Alcorn, which turned out nothing like I thought it would be. I initially got it because the description made it seem like a good sci-fi type book that I was hoping one of my jr. high students would appreciate, and it would offer a better connection with him.Instead, the Chasm is a weak attempt at a modern-day "Pilgrim's Progress." Though . Chris Kramer said Amazing Allegory. The Chasm by Randy Alcorn is a surprisingly thin book, but he packs an amazing story into those 109 pages (plus a few extra for insightful discussion questions). The books tells about a journey Nick Seagrave, an average American businessman, is on to get to Charis. It wasn't until I started reading that I realized this was an allegorical story and not your typical work of fiction.Nick has a choice of a red road and many gray roads. Along the way he sees his life as it really was the fact that actions he thought no one
