 Randy Alcorn's "Dominion" September 27, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
A very engaging story that addresses current issues in an eye opening way.
This book addresses continuing, subtle racial issues, gang activity and the power of the press to influence for good or bad. Because the story is set near to where my family lives, it was fun to "drink Starbucks" with the characters in the same Barnes and Noble I visit when I am in Portland, OR. We are reading it for the second time. The first was from the library. It was worth purchasing a personal copy.

This great work of Fiction by Randy Alcorn has a real strong dose of reality in it. I highly recommend this book for those who question their own position on abortion and for those who don't and should. This is a great read and I love to give Randy'sa books as Birthday and Christmas presents. You won't want to put it down.
 Major issues faced head on! A very good book!! October 11, 2006

This book was recommended when I told the salesperson I was looking for books on spiritual warfare - something along the lines of Frank Peretti. It wasn't exactly what I was looking for but thought provoking and captivating none-the-less. Be warned this is a thick book and I found the main reason to put it down was my hands were tired - that and I needed sleep!
I have to say that at first I was distracted by the author's repeated use of simile (hence 4 instead of 5 stars) - two examples pg 10 "...scream pierced the store like a fire alarm." and two sentences later "...like a tennis raquet poised to serve." I'm not sure of the word count on "like" but I'm pretty sure it's up there. I really had to concentrate on NOT concentrating on the simile. If you're like me and tend to focus on how the book is written as well as what is written, be prepared to overlook this distraction - the story is worth it. If it doesn't bother you, you will get vivid mental pictures as you read this book!
This story confronts major issues head-on and I love it! The big one - racism. As I was reading, I kept thinking "this guy has got to get over the color of his skin!" But what it all boils down to is he can't nor should he. God made us a certain color for a reason, who are we to question the Potter's hand? At one point, several chapters into the book, I flipped over to the back cover and was suprised to see Randy Alcorn is white. Wow!
My favorite aspect of Dominion is the author's concept of what heaven (as well as hell) will be like. This depiction is biblically based but uses imagination to bring realism to the idea of the hereafter. It's been a "dinner-table" topic for sometime now.
The plot is very well developed throughout and although the book is long, it's worth the time. I will read this book again.

Thought provoking July 6, 2006
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I found this book, thought provoking, moving, and real. The fact that it was written by a white author, and includes such profound insight of matters affecting the black community, is quite remarkable. This novel covers white black relations, inner black issues (political, family etc) forgiveness, blame, and love; all inter woven into a political thriller. You may not agree with all of the assertions of the authors, but the points he raises will cause you to review your opinions on most of the issues above.And that, for me is the mark of a great novel. Which this is.
