I attempted my first novel, back in the 90s. To be honest, I made more mistakes in writing Deadline than any other fiction book I’ve written, not surprisingly, because the first house built will not be his best house if someone continues to build. And yet, God has really used that novel.

This issue includes: Right Now, We See the Underside of Life's Tapestry by Randy Alcorn; His Way Was Through the Sea by Garrett Kell; Oh, The Constant, Wonder-Working Jesus by A. W. Tozer; and more.

In 2014 Nanci and I attended the first illumiNations. In those days it was estimated that at the current rate of Bible translation, it would be 2150 before every people group would have at least a portion of God’s Word in their language. At this year’s gathering, they announced that the new projected date of introducing God’s Word to the last Bibleless people group is now 2033!

Randy Alcorn shares some thoughts for The Seed Company on the importance of God's Word in the heart language.

I’m excited that my children’s book Wait Until Then is once again available, reprinted by our ministry. It’s been almost 17 years since it was first published, but the story is timeless—it is just as applicable now as it was then.

Randy joined Rush Witt on the Straight to the Heart Podcast, to share his personal reflections on life, grieving with hope in everyday moments, and the connection to his new booklet Grieving with Hope: Walking with Jesus in Heartbreak, coming out in August 2024 with New Growth Press.  

A reader asked me if it’s possible he’ll visit his childhood hometown one day on the New Earth. Might this earth’s places that we loved and enjoyed be resurrected to the New Earth? In becoming new, will the old Earth retain much of what it once was?

Psalm 107 begins, “Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. Let the redeemed of the LORD say this.” The psalmist details the sufferings of God’s people, wandering in desert wastelands, without homes, hungry, and thirsty.

Randy Alcorn talked with some staff at Desiring God about writing and editing. He shared from Isaiah 55:8-11, and explained the importance of being so saturated in God’s Word that your writing (and speaking) reflects God’s truth. Randy also answered some questions and shared insights from his own experience as a writer.

The relationship between our true spiritual condition and our attitude and actions concerning money and possessions is timeless.

In this clip from The Straight to the Heart podcast with Rush Witt, Randy shares about his everyday activities, including meeting with area pastors, increased speaking and writingengagements, and his daily companion Gracie the Double Doodle. 

In this clip from The Straight to the Heart podcast with Rush Witt, Randy shares about his wife Nanci: a godly woman, introvert, lover of football, lover of animals, and now in Heaven with Jesus.  

What will it be like on our resurrection day, when we return with Christ to this old Earth, when we are given new bodies in the knowledge that we will together colonize a New Earth? At the end of my novel Safely Home, I tried to catch a flavor of what it may be like.

In this clip from The Straight to the Heart podcast with Rush Witt, Randy shares about how his in-depth research on Heaven for his books gave him and Nanci a great basis for talking about Heaven often, especially during her illness.
