About Randy Alcorn
Randy Alcorn is the founder and director of Eternal Perspective Ministries. The best-selling author of more than forty books including Courageous, Heaven, The Treasure Principle, and the Gold Medallion winner Safely Home. His books in print exceed seven million and have been translated into over thirty languages.
Randy Alcorn has written twelve books (soon to be fourteen, with two more novels coming out in 2001), including the best-selling novels Deadline, Dominion, and Edge of Eternity.

Randy Alcorn shares about what it means to him to have his books translated into other languages, pointing out some of his favorite covers.
