First off I have to say I loved the scenes about heaven. Second to those who thought that the book was only about race, they need to look a little deeper. I never took it as blaming whites for the problems of blacks at all, in fact to me it reminded me more than ever that we are all brothers and sisters regardless of color. Alcorn is my favorite author of all time.

Randy Alcorn writes as well as any author in the world. He transports you into his story so well, his novels are like the "transporters" on the show Star Trek, that beamed you up or down into another location. I am amazed at how believable the character of Clarence Abernathy was; an incredible feat by a man that looks as white as Al Gore. Sorry Randy, couldn't resist that little dig.

Seriously folks - this novel is very good. Very good indeed!

Peace-out!

Nero's Guard is watching! Always remember that.

For anyone endeavoring to improve race relations in America, this book is a must read! Alcorn is one of my favorite Christian authors. While this book is over 600 pages, it is well worth the effort to make time to read. It touched my life and I plan to read other books by Randy Alcorn. I liked the way Alcorn so vividly addressed the many racial problems in America. Clarance Abernathy, the main characther, a conservative black American, seems to be so real and genuine. The scenes in heaven by his deceased sister and loved ones is most poignant.

Keep up the great work Randy Alcorn and may God bless your ministry...Eternal Perspective Ministries.

I read this book over a year ago and still it speaks to me. It is a good book that sticks with you and impacts your life. Excellent!

This book is a real eye opener on many levels. A must read right along with Joseph Girzone's Joshua and Frank E. Peretti's This present darkness.

I did not enjoy this book as much as the first (Deadline), but it was very good.

It followed up on some of the characters from the first book that were left hanging.

I enjoyed it and would definately read both again.

I didn't know who Randy Alcorn was when I found this book lying in my office left behind by the previous occupant. What a winner of a book. It is big, but the story winds up and winds up and has twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. It presents a beautiful theology of God and Heaven. However, if you aren't a Christian or don't care about God or heaven read the story anyway as the theological elements are wonderfully woven into the story and add to the drama. Randy writes one heckuva good book. (and looking at this review you might be thinking I'm a relative or his publisher, but I'm not, I just like the book.)

I loved The Ishbane Conspiracy and Safely Home, but Dominion is a big disppointment so far. Admittedly, I'm only halfway through, but it has been torturous. If you want a book about God, this is not it. Read his others. This book is about racism and slavery.

This book is superb, intense and the biblical life applications for use in todays life is heartfelt. I loved this book along with Deadline. I am at a loss for words to properly get across the whole sense of these 2 books. I also came away with a sense of peace on some of the issues he addressd.

Because it's awesome. We all deal with "issues" in our lives. For some it's issues with gangs. For others it's drugs or infidelity. In addressing the very sensitive nature of the "racial issue", this book will help you see the answer to resolving the "issues" in our lives. I just can't say how important it was for me to read this book! Not only was it a wonderful experience, it was also a stunning novel!
A must read!
