Good read with sound advice

Revisado: 04-06-15

Always appreciate listening to classical theological writing by highly regarded authors where eternal principles are clearly presented. Calvin' writings are a joy to read or listen.

Average at best too much detail

Revisado: 11-02-11

I really like Randy Alcorn's work and have read several of his offerings. So far I am only less than two hours in the first part and don't feel I will proceed any further. For me, there is too much time wasted developing unnecessary characteristics of each of the novel participants and mundane homey details concering their interactions. I kept waiting for some real meaty story features but none have developed in almost two hours of listening.

Roger Mueller attempts to represent each character via a voice inflection/accent but does not get it quite right because of the many ethnic/gender/age variations in the story.

Because this such a long read and I can't seem to get into the rythem of the presentation, I will put it aside for the time and maybe revisit it again in the future. If I eventually complete the novel, I will update my evaluation.

Very good with some weaknesses

Revisado: 11-02-11

Overall this is a very good novel well written with lots of details developing each character. The author's knowledge of the internal function of various organizations is truely impressive. Dick Hill does a good but not outstanding performance for each character's voice however the dramatization via music is only average. It is a very good story and one can only surmise the ending is the preview of future offerings. I have not read any other work by Mr. Rosenberg but this one is a winner which I can heartily recommend.

Great presentation of this classic

It was a real treat to have Randy Alcorn participate in this excellent presentation. Simon Vance has an excellent voice. The integration of Randy's work with Spurgeon was delightful.

Excellent gripping & encouraging novel.

Revisado: 10-26-11

This is one of the most gripping true to life novels I have ever read especially in light of my being a Christian believer. However, I highly recommend this to anyone interested in the tennants of the Christian Religion as it hits on all the key points of our faith.

Character development, dramatization, music and individual voices are top notch as Steve Sever is a master at presenting an amazing story written by Randy Alcorn. Once you get into the story a little bit you begin to be transformed directly into the locations as you experience the anguish and joys of the characters as they are developed through out their journey . The ending is incredible and my be a surprise to many who are unfamiliar with Randy Alcorn's work.

Randy Alcorn is an excellent writer and story teller and I recommend readers take a look at all of his offerings both in the audible and written formats.

Very good but weak performance & story.

Revisado: 10-26-11

I must admit after 1st reading "Safely Home" the standard set by that novel was going to be hard to equal and that is the case with "Deadline". If I had read "Deadline" first then my performance rating would likely have been four stars instead of three. However, on balance this is a very good read and the character development of each of the individuals is well done. The story is a "who done it" with many twists and turns and several surprises not revealed until the very end of the novel. I would have appreciated even more detail in the development of some of the characters as I found myself wondering about each character and how they got to where they were in the story. If you like thriller reading you wont be dissappointed by this novel. I was a bit dissappointed in the narrator as his voice was not that convincing as each of the story characters were presented through the novel. Also, the music and dramatization used was only average at best. Maybe this is not fair because Jeff Sever was so convincing in his narration of the "Safely Home" book and the dramatization in that book was awesome.

Randy Alcorn is an excellent writer and story teller and a brother in Jesus Christ so his credibility is tops with me. I was unaware of his writings until earlier this year when our Pastor suggested the "Heaven" book was an excellent read and it was offered in hardback to the congregation at cost to what the church paid for the copies so my wife and I purchased it. I can highly recommend the Heaven book either in printed or audio format as it is the most encouraging thing I have ever read and set my understanding about Heaven in the proper light. We will definately purchase more of Randy's work and suggest you take a look at all of his efforts. His work is especially appreciated by believers but worth consideration by anyone with a genuine interest in the Christian Faith.
