review 1: I have to admit, I did judge a book by its cover. I saw it and instantly I felt the need to have this books content in my mind. Upon reading it, it dawned on me that I felt like this was a religious book. When I finished it, I came to find out that it was in fact the journey of a man's struggle on how he feels about his relationship with God, in a sense. This book was beautiful, and I didn't feel like it was a Christian trying to shove his beliefs down my throat, in fact I felt a deep connection with the main character, Nick, and I understand his struggle with wanting to know the truth. Beautiful work of literature art!
review 2: he Chasm’s story will remind you of Pilgrim’s Progress. The updated writing and spiritual war will remind you of Frank Peretti (T
... morehis Present Darkness). If you’ve read neither book, reading this one may remind you of life in Junior High – back when you could see the dark, sinister side of life and realized your need of deliverance. Well, maybe that was just my Jr. Hi.The Chasm is an abridgement of Randy Alcorn’s book The Edge of Eternity. For that reason it’s a bit diving into a waterfall. It took me a chapter or two to hit bottom and realize where the book was going. But – it was worth it.The imagery created clear pictures in my mind, making the good news clearly good. Wacko Christians and wacko false leaders are easy to relate to. Christ is as clear as Aslan. There are study help for leading a small group through the book at the end.I gave it four stars instead of five because I’ve liked other books by Randy Alcorn a bit better (The Treasure Principle, Heaven, The Deadline series). That’s probably my taste, but I had to leave room to give 5 stars to those books! less

This was a great parable of our need for Jesus, and what exactly He does for us.
