A Tale of Four Alcorns

Someone I’d never met came up to me after I spoke at a conference.

“I’ve got a problem with you,” he said, face sour.

“Take a number,” I said.

About Randy Alcorn

Are you a member of ChiLibris [novelist group]?

Yes, I have been part of ChiLibris since the beginning, when we had something like 18 of us, I think.

How old were you when you wrote your first book?

I started writing my first book, Christians in the Wake of the Sexual Revolution, when I was 29, and finished when I was 31.

What books and authors do you read in your free time?

I just read a wonderful novel, Jayber Crow, by Wendell Berry. I like Angela Hunt and Jim Bell as novelists, and anything by Francine Rivers. I know Ang, Jim and Frani, and respect them, which helps, too. For nonfiction, I like John Piper, D. A. Carson, Tim Keller, and others.

What do you think of the Chronicles of Narnia movies?

On the Narnia movies, generally I really like them. There are small criticisms, things I think would make them better, but overall I really enjoy them. Doug Gresham, one of the co-producers (and C. S. Lewis's step-son) is a friend. Let me just say we all owe Doug a huge debt for holding to certain key aspects of Lewis's stories, or the movies could have turned out a vast departure from the core tenets of the books.
