Description
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 show more 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. A shocking murder drags black newspaper columnist Clarence Abernathy into the disorienting world of inner-city gangs and racial conflict. Randy Alcorn is the founder and director of Eternal Perspective Ministries. His novels include Deadline, Dominion, Edge of Eternity, Lord Foulgrin's Letters, The Ishbane Conspiracy, and the Gold Medallion winner, Safely Home. He has written sixteen nonfiction books as well, including Heaven, The Treasure Principle, The Purity Principle, and The Grace and Truth Paradox. Randy and his wife, Nanci, live in Gresham, Oregon. They have two married daughters, Karina and Angela, and three grandsons. N.L. © AudioFile Portland, Maine. show lessTags

A pretty hefty read. Heavier than 'Deadline' and not as much action to move the story along. For a novel, it is a comprehensive look at racial prejudice against African Americans in America. Similar theme of heaven and what it might be like as in 'Deadline'. Enjoyed the references to 'The Chronicles of Narnia' and C.S. Lewis. The storyline of Ty and his gang involvement moves to the forefront early on in the book, is full of action and dilemma, but then completely disappears until close to the end. I spent a lot of the second half wondering where he was and what was happening to him. Jake, Janet and Carly reappear and their story continues to develop.
This is the second book in Randy Alcorn's series. While it was still a good story, I just didn't like this book as much as the first one or the third one. I highly recommend the last book in this series! It was the best.
Another great read by Randy Alcorn!
