Randy Alcorn shares the challenges of adapting the movie 'Courageous' into novel form.

"The Bible is full of truths that simply don't sit well with us because of our sinful nature."

"While my primary intent is never to teach, readers usually end up learning something new anyway."

'The Christy Awards acknowledge the unique role that storytelling has in communicating deep truths about God and His love and interaction with humankind throughout history.'

'The wonderful thing is, God can not only forgive our sins, but He can forgive the guilt of our sins, too.'

"My prayer is that each book captures God's truths. Only through His guidance can this feeble, racing-thoughts-plagued, fifty-five-something woman ever complete a sentence, much less a novel!"

"Eventually, God's hand sort of walked me right out of Hollywood and into Christian publishing."

"I didn't start out to write a Christian novel when I wrote [my first novel], but God showed up as I wrote and I couldn't avoid the fact that my faith will always be at work with anything I write.

"When I read Redeeming Love, I was overwhelmed by the power of fiction to change a heart."

"I love it that God uses us very flawed people to get His work on Earth completed. I hope that comes through in my novels. When I think I'm hanging on to Him and slipping I do better when I realize He's the one one hanging on to me."
