THE CHASM A Journey to the Edge of Life

This contemporary allegory is written as the first-person narrative of a strong male personality. Unlike many authors who attempt to read their own work, Randy Alcorn does the book a service by infusing every line of his parable with vivid feeling, thereby bringing it to life. Although his emphatic sentences become slightly repetitive in cadence, he varies the rapid delivery of the action scenes with slower, softer tones in reflective moments. While there are places where his reading borders on the melodramatic, this suits the genre of the story. Some may think of this work as a millennial revision of the classic PILGRIM’S PROGRESS.
