The chasm

by Randy C. Alcorn

Alcorn offers a companion to his novel, Edge of Eternity, in this Pilgrim's Progress-style allegory about a man who comes to see his own wasted life through a series of misadventures, battles, and sins. These lead him to a chasm he cannot cross without the help of trusted guides, most importantly a Christ figure, the Woodsman, and a tempter, Joshua. The end is not utopia, but a life with unexpected joys and faithful companions.
