Oct 14, 2014: One Place: Greg Laurie Interviews Randy Alcorn on Why God Allows Suffering -
There's a lot of talk about heaven. Some have even written books about their near-death experiences and what they know about "the great beyond." But Wednesday on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie and author Randy Alcorn reveal the truth about heaven from the pages of God's Word.

In C. S. Lewis’s The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Eustace Clarence Scrubb describes to Edmund how terrible it felt when Aslan, the Lion and Christ-figure, changed him from the dragon he’d become to the boy he was intended to be. July 18, 2014: First Person: This Week's Guest:Randy Alcorn
During these summer months, we are reaching back into the FIRST PERSON archive and re-playing some popular interviews from the recent past. This week, we go back to 2011 and an interview with author and speaker Randy Alcorn. This is what we said when it first aired in 2011: 
BOOKS ON THE RECORD: May 11, 2014: Since 1985 Alcorn has written many books, but none have been more popular than The Treasure Principle which was published in 2001. Released with little fanfare and with only three brief endorsements (including John Piper’s who says, “Supercharged with stunning, divine truth! Lightning struck over and over as I read it.”) the book claims to “unlock the secret of joyful giving.” The “treasure principle” is this: You can’t take it with you—but you can send it on ahead. Alcorn says, “If we give instead of keep, if we invest in the eternal instead of in the temporal, we store up treasures in heaven that will never stop paying dividends. Whatever we store up on earth will be left behind when we leave. Whatever treasures we store up in heaven will be waiting for us when we arrive.” Along with the principle he offers six keys:
Principle #1 - God owns everything. I’m His money manager. Principle #2 - My heart always goes where I put God’s money. Principle #3 - Heaven, not earth, is my home. Principle #4- I should live for the dot but for the line [not for this short life on earth but for eternity] Principle #5 - Giving is the only antidote to materialism. Principle #6 - God prospers me not to raise my standard of living, but to raise my standard of giving. (SOURCE: Tim Challies: "The Bestsellers: The Treasure Principle ") |

Randy Alcorn (born June 23, 1954) is an American Protestant author and director of Eternal Perspective Ministries, a non-profit Christian organization dedicated to teaching an eternal viewpoint and helping the needy of the world. He has written several novels, including Deadline, Dominion, and Deception. He received a Gold Medallion Book Award in 2003 for his novel Safely Home. He has also written a number of non-fiction books, including Heaven, The Purity Principle, and The Treasure Principle. Eternal Perspective Ministries owns the royalties to his books and 100 percent of them are given away to support missions, famine relief, pro-life work, and other ministries. He and his wife, Nanci, have two grown up and married daughters, Karina and Angela, who assisted him in writing the novel The Ishbane Conspiracy in 2001. Randy and Nanci have four grandsons. They live in Gresham, Oregon.
He wrote a book similar to The Screwtape Letters called Lord Foulgrin's Letters. In Alcorn's book, references are made to demons, known only as "ST" and "WW" (for it had become a crime in Hell to even speak their real names), who had their letters found by a human and were punished by Beelzebub for their incompetence. He has also written a sequel to Lord Foulgrin's Letters entitled The Ishbane Conspiracy in which Lord Foulgrin from the first book is put on probation and is receiving letters from a senior demon named Prince Ishbane. In between the letters actual scenes from the humans lives unfold. In November 2009, Alcorn signed an ecumenical statement known as the Manhattan Declaration calling on Evangelicals, Catholics and Orthodox not to comply with rules and laws permitting abortion, same-sex marriage and other matters that go against their religious consciences
