The Chasm by Randy Alcorn

Nick Seagrave is a traveler in a strange land.  He meets some scary creatures along his journey.  But Joshua takes him under his wing to lead him to truth--but there were many roads to many truths.  Nick hears about the great chasm but never gets close enough in his journey with Joshua to see that great chasm.  Later, Nick is introduced to Shadrach--an old man in tattered clothing.  Nick has been told that there will be people who appear to be something they're not.  And Nick has to decide who is a safe companion with whom to travel.

Nick finally chooses the red road and once on that road, he sees the great chasm.  It is full of death--the stench of rotting and dying bodies fill the big hole.  Now he feels hopeless.  How will he ever reach Charis, the city of light which is across the great chasm?

If you like Pilgrim's Progress, you will want to read this book.  It's an allegory on even an older child's level.  I believe it would provide great conversation for a family about spiritual matters--and choices.  This book is a companion book to another of Alcorn's book, Edge of Eternity.  I found this book much easier to read.

I'd give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
