Review:
This book offers a powerful picture of the spiritual life including heaven and hell. As far as alternate world books go, Edge of Eternity is not spectacular. The book itself is shorter than his others and has no stories in heaven. The storyline and characters, however are insightful and descriptive. The entire book is an allegory, sort of a modern day Pilgrim's Progress. There's nothing different about the book, but if you are looking for something different from Randy Alcorn, this is the book to read. 3.5 stars
