ABOUT THE AUTHOR

"My ministry focus is communicating the strategic importance of using our earthly time, money, possessions and opportunities to invest in need-meeting ministries that count for eternity," Alcorn says. "I do that by trying to analyze, teach and apply the implications of Christian truth."Alcorn is the author of over 40 books, study guides, booklets, and tracts.
