Honestly, it was one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life. I had lots of 12 to 16 hour days, and although I knew it would only be for a season, it took its toll.
People trust what you have to say about heaven. Your 2004 book by that title was a best seller. Can we expect a book from you on the topic of hell some day?
I have chapters on Hell in my books Heaven and If God Is Good. And I have one hell scene in most of my novels, each a bit different than the others. I have no plans to write a whole book on Hell. But I recently wrote the foreword to Mark Galli’s excellent book, God Wins, and endorsed ...
A September 2011 interview with Randy Alcorn by Randall Murphree for OneNewsNow.com.
Car chases, shootouts, gang activity, corrupt cops, clear-cut villains and heroes, and the eternal confrontation between good and evil -- they're all present in Courageous the movie, which goes to theaters next week. The same elements and more also fill the pages of Courageous the novel.

As Fireproofcentered on fire fighters and marriage, Courageous centers on police officers and fatherhood and, not surprisingly, COURAGE for men in their homes and personal lives.
In this audio clip, Randy Alcorn talks about an experience he had while resarching the police and gang life in Albany, Georgia for the novel Courageous.

When I wrote Deception, the spiritual themes are interwoven into the central plot, the murder mystery. Ollie’s recognition that everything is not as it appears applies not only to the murder, but to the larger issues of his life.
I like reading them—particularly the Nero Wolfe books by Rex Stout. I love Sherlock Holmes. In fact, every chapter of Deception starts with a great quote from a Holmes story. It was fun matching those with the contents of particular chapters. Many people enjoy murder mysteries, so there’s potential for a wide audience.
I never create any mental pictures that could tempt, as I have strong convictions against that.
