In October of 2012 Randy Alcorn was interviewed by Dr. John Akers at The Cove in Asheville, NC.

Randy challenges the idea that Christians will suffer less in this life. See Randy's book If God Is Good for more information. 

Because of my daughter Angie’s pending surgery and diagnosis, and because the subjects of trust and trials are all pertinent in my heart right now, I wanted to share some thoughts about how the Lord uses pain and suffering in our lives.

Many thanks to those who have been praying for our daughter Angela Stump and her health, and peace and encouragement for her and her family. 

In If God Is Good, I share the story of Nick Vujicic, a man born without arms or legs.

Question from a reader: I am reading If God is Good.  On page 155, Randy implies that the 'war in Heaven' in Revelation 12:7 is past (he uses the word "accomplished").  This seems to jive with the words of Jesus in Luke 10:18 where He says He "saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven." Some writers place the Rev. 12:7 'war in Heaven' as yet in the future. Which is it? Past event or a future event?

Pat Robertson has said something so stunning, so at odds with the Word of God and the heart of our Savior, that when I heard he had said it I thought he had been misunderstood or misrepresented.

I have written about Hell in a number of my books, both nonfiction and fiction. It is an unpleasant subject, one which modern Christians are tempted to avoid and deny.
