Many people have asked me how Nanci is doing since our last update in early September on her CaringBridge page. There has been nothing new to report since the outcome of her last test, but she'll have another test soon. I rarely repost the latest updates and prayer requests from CaringBridge on my blog, but since this test is significant, I’m posting this one since we would love your prayers.

Are You Living the Good Life? is a 96-page booklet mostly derived from the book Giving Is the Good Life. It highlights some of the key concepts from the larger book and presents them in an easy-to-read format.

Time with God is the fountain from which holiness, joy, and delight flow. It reminds us who we are and whose we are.

Sometimes I meet Christians who seem utterly bored with their lives. There is a great cure for boredom, although it’s one people don’t typically consider: giving more time, money, and energy to God’s Kingdom work, and inviting God to open our eyes to the needs surrounding us.

I really appreciated this article by Joe Rigney, assistant professor of theology and literature at Bethlehem College & Seminary and author of The Things of Earth: Treasuring God by Enjoying His Gifts.  It’s a great and practical explanation of what it means to obey the command in James 1:22 to be a doer of God’s Word.

I have some besetting sins in my life that I commit on occasion, and I’m fearful that God has killed or allowed my dogs to die because of my sin as a way of punishing me. 

Though in my books on happiness I emphasize an understanding of happiness based on the Bible, theology, and church history, I’ve also read a dozen or so secular books on happiness. Many writers document remarkable discoveries about happiness that conform to biblical teachings—though few appear to realize the connection.

In 2019, Randy Alcorn was interviewed by Stacey Foster about his book Giving Is the Good Life at the Compassion International Chapel.

I recently wrote about how “Famous Christians Are Losing Their Faith...and So Should You If Your Faith Is in Them.” The following article, by Nathan Tarr, is another reminder of the importance of not putting our ultimate trust in human leaders and of remembering that the gospel is all about Jesus. 

Saving can be wise, but it is never a substitute for giving. If ever we don’t feel we can save and give, by all means we should give. Some people in Scripture are rebuked for saving too much, but no one is ever rebuked for giving too much. 

In 2019, Randy Alcorn was interviewed on the topic of church leadership at his home church, Good Shepherd Community Church in Boring, Oregon. 

One reason the problem of evil and suffering can seem so acute to us is the cumulative weight we feel from media oversaturation. At most, people used to bear the sufferings of their own families, communities, or nations. Now, through instant access to global events, we witness the sufferings of an entire world. 

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.

In 2019, Randy Alcorn was interviewed by Pastor Barry Cameron on the topic of Heaven at Crossroads Christian Church in Grand Prairie, Texas.
