When two senseless killings hit close to home, columnist Clarence Abernathy seeks revenge for the murders—and, ultimately, answers to his own struggles regarding race and faith. After being dragged into the world of inner-city gangs and racial conflict, Clarence is encouraged by fellow columnist Jake Woods to forge an unlikely partnership with a redneck homicide detective. Soon the two find themselves facing dark forces, while unseen eyes watch from above. This re-release of Randy Alcorn’s powerful bestseller spins off from Deadline and offers a fascinating glimpse inside heaven. Can One Man’s Search for Justice Stand Up to the Forces of Evil Threatening to Destroy Him? A shocking murder drags black newspaper columnist Clarence Abernathy into the disorienting world of inner-city gangs and racial conflict. In a desperate hunt for answers to the violence (and to his own struggles with race and faith), Clarence forges an unlikely partnership with redneck detective Ollie Chandler. Despite their differences, Clarence and Ollie soon find themselves sharing the same mission: victory over the forces of darkness vying for dominion. Filled with insight—and with characters so real you’ll never forget them—Dominion is a dramatic story of spiritual searching, racial reconciliation, and hope. I don’t know when I have read a novel that affected me so profoundly. Randy Alcorn has combined a superb mystery/detective story with a lesson in racial relations in America, gang dynamics and symbols, Christian values, and spiritual warfare. —Dave Kirby, Troy (Alabama) Broadcasting Corporation Even better than its predecessor…Alcorn’s writing remains top-notch. —Sean Taylor, CBA Marketplace READER’S GUIDE INCLUDED Story Behind the Book Randy Alcorn thoroughly researched his characters, spending time in the inner city with homicide and gang detectives to better create the scenes for this bestselling novel. He set the story in his hometown of Portland, Oregon, and the main character, Clarence Abernathy, is a black journalist whose unforgettable father played baseball in the old Negro Leagues. Randy has received many letters from readers who assume he is African American due to his accurate portrayals of racial issues. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - This book will change youJust read "Dominion"..It is not a book that you can skim, or skip pages. Each page is packed full of so much information. If I had underlined my favorite passages, quotes, or ideas, it would have been underlined on every page. The depth of understanding I gained about the underlying attitudes of the Afro American was like none I have ever really grasped. Read it. Slow. Rating: - dominionfound it a bit difficult to relate to in the beginning, but half way through knew why. opened my eyes as to the way people relate to their ancestors and to what has happened to them. Rating: - Another hard-hitting novel by AlcornA while back I read the book "Deadline" and really enjoyed it, so I was glad to get the chance to read "Dominion". I was definitely not disappointed. The story is fairly well written and it flows quickly, yet does not seem very hurried, so it was not hard to follow along. However, the book does have a few minor problems in my opinion. For example, the mystery seems to be solved far too easily, and the clues along the way seemed far too easy to find. Although the book tried to suggest that the ...

I had a hard time getting into Abernathy's character to start with, probably because Randy was doing too good of a job portraying him. Soon I wasn't able to put it down. His introduction of the Carpenter surprised me and add much to the book. Ray Ruppert, Author of "The Sovereign Reigns, or Does He?" "The Sovereign's Last Battle" and "Revelation: A Layperson's Reflections" Rating: - Well-written, though somewhat flawed"Dominion," Randy Alcorn's follow-up to "Deadline," looks like one of those books so thick that it could substitute for a baseball bat in the case of a home break-in, but he scarcely allows the plot to drag for an instant. He skillfully and realistically blends the lives of Portland's upper and middle classes with those of its urban poor, and the amount of gang research that he obviously did to produce the the story is impressive. "Dominion" follows Jake Woods's black friend, successful ... Read More
