Dominion by Randy Alcorn
5.0
One of my all-time favorite books. If you're looking for the one fictional novel you should read this month, or this year even, it should be this one.
I think I've had more conversations inspired by Dominion than by any other book. It covers a myriad of different topics with honesty and clarity, and can give you valuable insights on a number of race and faith related issues.
The writing is always well-paced and pulls you through the plot, and the murder investigation never seems plasticine or fake. The characters feel like real people once you finish it - I last read it at least six months ago, and my heart still shakes for Clarence, Jake, Geneva, Ollie, Ty, GC and more! You don't want to miss a cast like this.
Most of all, Dominion will draw you to deeply question your faith and ultimately decide if the effort it takes to follow Christ is worth it. It asks this question without being cheesy or silly, and will help you understand what following Jesus "in real life" looks like.
Overall, a fantastic read that offers both deeply insightful observations on the Christian faith, race, the inner city, gangs, drugs, church, angels, politics and more, and a heart-racing murder investigation that will keep you going through the very last page. Highly recommended!
