About Randy Alcorn

Deadline In the first book in the series, we meet Finney, Jake, and Doc, three good friends from childhood. Even in their 50’s and with families, the three are still good friends and close together. Finney is a businessman and devoted Christian, and he isn’t shy to call his friends to repent when he sees them on the wrong. Then there’s Doc who is the complete opposite of Finney. He is arrogant, and he isn’t interested in anything close to religion, and he’s also unfaithful to his wife. Jake is a columnist at a local newspaper and is caught in the middle. He doesn’t believe in Jesus, he’s divorced and has abandoned his daughter and mother sick from Alzheimer’s, but he isn’t easily offended or defensive as Doc. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Non-Fiction Books series, Randy Alcorn has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
