A Journey He Couldn't Miss… and a Step He Couldn't TakeHe found himself a traveler in the strangest of lands. Where invisible secrets come starkly into sight. Where the fairest of companions leads the way into unsuspected danger and darkness. Where hidden battles burst into the open. 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. 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
Think God doesn't want you to be happy? Think again.Many Christians were raised to believe that God wants us to be holy, not happy. But nothing could be further from the truth! Holy, yes, but happy . . . also yes! The Bible is filled with proof that God not only loves celebrations, he also wants us to be happy and to celebrate life with him and with one another. Why else would he call the gospel the "good news of great joy" and go to such extraordinary lengths to ensure our eternal happiness?And while we know we'll experience unimaginable happiness in Heaven, that doesn't mean we can't also experience great happiness here and now! In fact, Scripture makes clear that God wants us to!Join bestselling author and theologian Randy Alcorn as he dispels centuries of misconceptions about happiness; shows us how we can draw closer to the source of all joy, peace, and eternal life; and provides indisputable biblical proof that God not only wants us to be happy, he commands it!
Bestselling author Randy Alcorn invites readers to study, reflect on, and respond to the biblical truths that build the solid foundation for our hope in heaven that brings us peace for today.

But when he's called to investigate the murder of a Portland State University professor, he finds himself going places he's never gone before.Places he never wanted to go.Because all the evidence is pointing to one horrific conclusion: The murderer is someone in his own department. That's not the worst of it, though. Ollie has nagging doubts...about himself. Where was he during the time of the murder?Joined by journalist Clarence Abernathy and their friend Jake Woods, Ollie pushes the investigation forward. Soon all three are drawn deep into corruption and political tensions that threaten to destroy them-and anyone who tries to help. But they're in too deep to quit. They've got no choice. They have to follow the evidence to the truth...No matter how ugly-or dangerous-it gets.A gripping story of murder and spiritual struggle, Deception proves, as never before, the truth of Ollie's first law: "Things are often not what they appear.”
Christians trying to model their lives after Jesus may find that He gets buried under lists, rules, and formulas. Now bestselling author Randy Alcorn offers a simple two-point checklist for Christlikeness based on John 1:14. The test consists of balancing grace and truth, equally and unapologetically. Grace without truth deceives people, and ceases to be grace. Truth without grace crushes people, and ceases to be truth. Alcorn shows the reader how to show the world Jesus -- offering grace instead of the world's apathy and tolerance, offering truth instead of the world's relativism and deception.Grace or Truth…or Both? Truth without grace breeds self-righteousness and crushing legalism. Grace without truth breeds deception and moral compromise. Is it possible to embrace both in balance? Jesus did. Randy Alcorn offers a simple yet profound two-point checklist of Christlikeness. "In the end," says Alcorn, "we don't need grace or truth. We need grace and truth. And for people to see Jesus in us, they must see both."

Discover how the joy of giving can make your life richer, starting today.Bestselling author Randy Alcorn introduced readers to a revolution in material freedom and radical generosity with the release of the original The Treasure Principle in 2001. Now the revision to the compact, perennial bestseller includes a provocative new concluding chapter depicting God asking a believer questions about his stewardship over material resources. Jesus spent more time talking about money and possessions than about heaven and hell combined. But too often we've overlooked or misunderstood his most profound teaching on this topic, from his words in Matthew 6. Jesus offers us life-changing investment advice. He actually wants us to store up treasures for ourselves-just not here on earth. Instead, he urges us to store our treasure in heaven, where they will await us, and last forever. We can't take it with us-but we can send it on ahead!Readers are moved from the realms of thoughtful Bible exposition into the highly personal arena of everyday life. Because when Jesus told His followers to "lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven," He intended that they discover an astounding secret: how joyful giving brings God maximum glory and His children maximum pleasure. In The Treasure Principle, you'll unearth a radical teaching of Jesus-a secret wrapped up in giving. Once you discover this secret, life will never look the same. And you won't want it to be. "Supercharged with stunning, divine truth! Lightning struck over and over as I read it." - John Piper, Senior Pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis
Author Randy Alcorn explains that heaven isn't our "default destination" and that specific preparation must be made if we are to safely arrive in heaven.
