Randy Alcorn answers the question,"What happened at the ten year mark of the judgment against you?" at the 2011 Kingdom Advisors conference with Ron Blue.
Here at Eternal Perspective Ministries, we receive some wonderful notes and letters from readers letting us know how Randy’s books have blessed them and helped them develop a deeper walk with Christ. Randy and the rest of the EPM staff are always encouraged and humbled to read these responses.
We’d like to share with you just a few of the ways the book royalties have been used to make a difference in the world—and for eternity. To date, we’ve had the privilege of giving away close to $5.5 million. These pages highlight some of our special funds and the ministries they’ve helped support.
In the last blog post, I shared the story of the civil lawsuit that caused me to resign as a pastor and begin Eternal Perspective Ministries.
I had written about God's ownership in my book Money, Possessions and Eternity, which came out in 1989, only months before I became involved in civil disobedience. Little did I know while writing that I would literally own nothing—including that book itself—within a year of when it came out.
This month marks the 20th anniversary for Eternal Perspective Ministries, the nonprofit ministry I founded in 1990. Some of you who read my blog might not know much about EPM, so thought I’d share in two blog posts about the abortion clinic lawsuits that led to my resignation as a pastor and to the beginning of EPM.
Then The ministry began in 1990 with the EPM office in the Alcorns’ basement. Randy and his wife Nanci were the only employees. In 1997, an office space was added to the Alcorns’ home, where EPM resided until 2006.
Now EPM has grown to 10 part-time employees (not including Randy), and has a separate office in Sandy, Oregon, while Randy still works full-time from his home office.

Since we get asked this question from time to time, and because we’re celebrating our 20th anniversary this year, we thought it might be fun to give you a sneak peek into the daily happenings at Eternal Perspective Ministries. Much of our time is taken up connecting with people through email, phone calls, and snail mail. They may want to order books, tell us how God has used a book in their life, ask a question related to an issue Randy writes and speaks about, or inquire about his availability for a speaking engagement or phone conversation.
My friend Dave Harvey wrote a fine book on marriage called When Sinners Say "I Do": Discovering the Power of the Gospel for Marriage. His new book is called Rescuing Ambition. I love it. Interested in reading a portion of it, see these excerpts.Here’s my endorsement, followed by a few others:
“Dave Harvey thinks well, writes well, tells good stories, and cites people of substance and insight. I have long appreciated Dave’s integrity, wisdom and perspective. Were I not afraid of feeding his ambition for greatness, or my ambition to write a memorable endorsement, I would add ...
I grew up with a Golden Retriever, a great breed. When I was a boy, my golden, Champ, used to crawl in my sleeping bag when I spent the night in the back yard (watching the stars and reading comic books with a flashlight). Nanci and I love dogs. We enjoyed this video, and hope you do, too.
