The international reach of our ministry has been so much further than I ever could have imagined back when Nanci and I started Eternal Perspective Ministries in 1990. My books have now been translated into over seventy languages<\/a>, and we have articles on our website in 34 languages<\/a> besides English.<\/p>\n

I get excited about reaching people of every tribe and nation and language, and while of course we don\u2019t have resources in every language, we have something to offer in an increasing number, which is very encouraging! If you know people who speak these languages, please share what we have available. We are continuing to translate meaningful articles, and pray that God will use them to reach people around the world.<\/p>\n

Here are some notes we\u2019ve received from international readers:<\/p>\n

I am from Malawi. I just finished reading your book Managing God\u2019s Money<\/em><\/a>, and I must say it has made me look at my life differently. I feel like I have a purpose now. I am currently waiting on God for a new job which I know is coming soon, but this time I want to do things differently. I made mistakes while working at my previous job, and now I have grown and I want to please God in all that I do and everything He entrusts me with. I really want to read The Treasure Principle,<\/em> but I don\u2019t have access to it. I am reading Managing God\u2019s Money again<\/em>. May the good Lord bless you for all you are doing for the kingdom.<\/p>\n

Hello Randy Alcorn, I am a 17-year-old Christian. I had the opportunity to become acquainted with your book, and it made me feel both happiness and deep sorrow. This experience was very meaningful to me. The book I read is\u00a0Heaven: Thoughts on Eternity <\/em>(Sonsuzlu\u011fun I\u015f\u0131\u011f\u0131nda: Cennet Hakk\u0131nda D\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnceler<\/em>). I would love to read your other books as well; however, as far as I know, only three of your books have been translated into Turkish, and they are no longer in print. I wish more of your books could be translated. While reading your book, I felt as if I were talking with you personally. I wanted to thank you for the peace and joy it brought me.<\/p>\n

\n

I\u2019m a Romanian believer that lived under the iron curtain up until my mid-20s, when the Revolution came. I lived in the Northwest part, close to the Hungarian border, near the city of Oradea. I\u2019ve been reading your book If God Is Good<\/em><\/a> and found out\u00a0you\u2019ve been to my country in the 80s. Thank you for being there for my brothers and sisters and sharing in their suffering. May the Lord richly bless you!<\/p>\n

\n

I am re-reading Safely Home<\/a><\/em>. This story has meant so much to our family. Bedankt! Thank you from Holland. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

As we approach the New Year of 2025, we spent time praying with the faculty of our church as we read and impart your book, Managing God\u2019s Money<\/em>. Thank you for the theology of money and concrete instructions that led to many challenges, awakenings, new decisions in life. \u2013 \uae40\uc601\uaddc\ubaa9\uc0ac<\/span>, Sandol Church (Sandol means Livingstone) in Suji, S.Korea<\/p>\n

Dear Mr. Alcorn, thank you so very much for your book The Purity Principle<\/em><\/a>. We are a couple from Germany and are very thankful, that your book has been translated into German. We are reading this book to our eleven and 13 year old daughters. I just started the chapter where you write about the movie Titanic. Thank you so very much for speaking so openly. I got tears in my eyes because I\u2019m so thankful, your words are so encouraging for us as parents. It\u2019s a struggle for us to find good movies that we can watch with over girls. They don\u2019t agree with our \u201cnarrow mindedness\u201d concerning movies. We are part of Bible-believing conservative Church in Germany, but even dear brothers and sisters watch movies like Titanic and give them to us to watch with our girls. This is quite challenging for us. And now I am so very glad and thankful and encouraged by your book. Your words help us to keep our own hearts and minds clean and the minds and hearts of our kids. The Lord Jesus blesses us through your book. Thank you very much. The Lord bless you and keep you in His presence.<\/p>\n

\n

Dear Mr. Alcorn, today I re-read your book Courageous<\/a> <\/em>after I finished Safely Home<\/em> again, after 15 years. It\u2019s been a pleasure to read your books, and it encourages me to take following Christ more seriously. I believe, maybe more than ever, especially in the Netherlands, that we need these kind of books to help people not to be lukewarm, but to light a fire in their hearts to follow Christ without reservation and hesitation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
