random ramblings of a crazed nerd

Tried sleeping… Really!

My sister got me a book for Christmas, and I just finished reading it, granted it was in a bookshelf for a while, and I read half of it at one point, then just came back a few days ago and started reading it again - the catch to it, was very “opinionated” is how I’ll put it.

The book is Deadline by Randy Alcorn - a decent book, good story line, very good visual depictions of heaven and hell (though Hell’s was brief) - but just great visual ques which really gave you a awesome view of what heaven could truly be, but also of friendship, family, finding faith, and a nice hint of action all in all a good read, I have no complaints about the book other than large sections going on and on with facts about abortions, and various other real-life issues granted, but at times it felt overly preachy, like it felt I wouldn’t of known about the issues listed.

Anywhoo - worth a read, give it a look if you get a chance, as for me, I think I’ll try that whole sleep thing now.

Tsup, I read Deadline about four years ago. That was the first time I read a book on (and with) "eternal perspective", which is what the ministry of R. Alcorn. At the time I loved the book. But then when I wanted to encourage someone else to read it, I couldn't find it in our church library. Anyway, sorry for a long comment. Blessed day!
