In this clip Randy answers the question “Why did you write Happiness?”. 

Randy had a conversation with Dr. Lee Warren about his book Happiness, what true happiness is, and how to find delight even in the midst of difficult circumstances. Their conversation touched on Randy's personal experiences and ministry, as well as a current writing project. 

Forty-five years ago when I was in Bible college, we used to pray for Nepal, a country that was synonymous with the most closed and unreached and unlikely place for Christians to be. The very small number of Christians there made it seem incredible that a Christian book would ever be published in their language.

Recently Randy was interviewed by Justin Forman, founder of the Faith Driven Entrepreneur. Listen in as they discuss Randy’s book The Treasure Principle, and what it really means to invest in eternity.

Randy Alcorn was interviewed on The Call to Mastery with Jordan Raynor about his book Heaven. In this audio clip, Randy talks about what it means to be saved FOR good works.

Randy was interviewed on the For the Gospel Podcast with Costi Hinn. In this clip, Randy talks why he wrote If God Is Good.

This Friday, September 24, the Courageous movie will be released in select theaters in honor of the 10th anniversary of its original release. Some of you may know that I wrote a novel by the same title that was based on the screenplay of the movie. Both the movie and the book center on police officers and fatherhood and, not surprisingly, COURAGE for men in their homes and personal lives.

Despite the fact that I finished writing it in 1993, twenty-eight years ago, in the last few months, our ministry has received multiple reader responses to Deadline. I have long believed that the Holy Spirit providentially brings certain books to the fore at certain times, touching many hearts even with older books and sometimes not bestsellers.

Here is something I’ve never done—respond to reviews of my books. I hope it doesn’t sound defensive, or like I’m fishing for positive feedback. I get plenty of that, so don’t feel sorry for me! Let me also assure you that I am writing with a smile and a sense of humor, not a frown and a sense of feeling hurt.

Readers' Responses to Pro-Choice or Pro-Life? by Randy Alcorn

When I’m asked who my favorite character from all my novels is, I always say it’s Obadiah Abernathy in Dominion, who played baseball in the old Negro leagues. He modeled dignity, grace, wisdom, and humor. In this excerpt from the book, Obadiah talks to his family about church in the old days, and the Heaven that’s coming and won’t ever end.

I’m excited to introduce my book Pro-Choice or Pro-Life: Examining 15 Pro-Choice Claims—What Do Facts & Common Sense Tell Us? It tackles the predominant pro-choice claims head-on but does so in a thoughtful and non-aggressive way in order to reach pro-life and at least some pro-choice readers. This book is carefully written and edited, and I believe is a high-quality pro-life resource.

It’s All About Jesus: A Treasury of Insights on Our Savior, Lord, and Friend releases on September 1. It’s a collection of the very best quotations about Jesus throughout history, carefully gleaned from hundreds of sources.

When one of my favorite publishers, Tyndale House, approached me about doing a book in connection with Compassion International, I was very interested. Tyndale and Compassion have a partnership, and they wondered if I would write a book about incorporating generous giving into our lifestyles to do more to help the world’s needy. Since this has always been one of our family’s core values, it seemed like a good fit.
