What prompted you to write your book We Shall See God?

Question from a reader:

Have some things happened in your own circle of friends and family in the past few years that prompted you to write We Shall See God, an upbeat book on the topic of heaven?

What is the one thing you hope readers will take away from We Shall See God?

Question from a reader:

Consider for a minute the many people who are going to read We Shall See God. What is the one thing you hope they will take away from it?

Answer from Randy Alcorn:

I’ve found that many people who say “I love Spurgeon” haven’t read any of his sermons. Most of his readers are familiar only with Morning and Evening, by far his most popular work. Yet a majority of Spurgeon’s richest words can be found in his sermons. This book is my attempt to help readers access wonderful Spurgeon insights into Heaven ...

When did you discover Charles Spurgeon?

Question from a reader:

Charles Spurgeon is an English preacher who died in 1892, yet you seem well-acquainted. When did you discover Spurgeon?

You quote from C.S. Lewis often. Do you always agree with him?

You quote from C.S. Lewis in your books often. I like Lewis too, but now I'm hearing that he's not biblical. I recently watched an online video that said he was a universalist. What do you think?

A Lesson on Priorities from R.G. LeTourneau

Robert G. (Gilmour) LeTourneau (1888-1969) was a Christian industrialist who had dedicated himself to being “a businessman for God.”

Written into the Story

Ever since Adam and Eve, God has been writing earth’s most passionate, compelling and powerful drama, a narrative from ancient past to triumphant future, a tale of redemption and hope.

Great Is Thy Faithfulness: A Hymn for Ordinary Christians

inside churchThe story behind "Great is Thy Faithfulness" should encourage every Christian who thinks of their life as ordinary. There’s no tragic story (think “It Is Well” by Horatio Spafford) associated with this hymn. It’s just the fruit of a faithful man with a simple faith in a faithful God.

Thomas Chisholm, who sometimes described himself as “just an old shoe,” was born in a Kentucky log cabin in 1866. He was converted when he was 27, became a pastor at 36, but had to retire one year later due to poor health. He spent the majority of the rest of his life as a life insurance agent in New Jersey. He died in 1960 at the age of 93. During his life he wrote over 1200 poems, most of which no one will ever hear.

Charles Spurgeon on Knowing Christ

leaf“Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.”  —2 Peter 3:18

“Grow in grace”—not in one grace only, but in all grace. Grow in that root-grace, faith. Believe the promises more firmly than you have done. Let faith increase in fullness, constancy, simplicity. Grow also in love. Ask that your love may become extended, more intense, more practical, influencing every thought, word, and deed. Grow likewise in humility. Seek to lie very low, and know more of your own nothingness. As you grow downward in humility, seek also to grow upward—having nearer approaches to God in prayer and more intimate fellowship with Jesus. May God the Holy Spirit enable you to “grow in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour.” He who grows not in the knowledge of Jesus, refuses to be blessed. To know Him is “life eternal,” and to advance in the knowledge of Him is to increase in happiness.
