Although my favorite writer has to be James Michael Pratt, followed by Nicholas Sparks, perhaps my favorite Christian writer is Randy Alcorn. His book, "Edge of Eternity" was my first incursion into Christian fantasy (as opposed to Christian fiction). EoE does in words what "The Masterpiece - A Toymaker's Dream" did in music and dance.
"Deadline", a detective novel, has been turned into a screenplay with Chuck Norris playing the main character. Don't know if it will ever make it to film, but the novel is great. As with James Pratt's screenplay for "The Last Valentine", Hollywood often takes the story so far away from the original that the two are unrecognizable. I hope that "The Last Valentine" and "Deadline" get the same thoughtful treatment that Nicholas Sparks' "Message in a Bottle", "A Walk to Remember", and "The Notebook" received.
Randy has several non-fiction books in print as well, probably his most popular, "Heaven", earns him lots of radio and television interviews. Check out Randy's blog at www.randyalcorn.blogspot.com.
