Great Expectations

My name is Mark Smith. I'm a guy who loves Jesus, His Word, and His Church. I am filled with Great Expectations for what the future will ultimately bring - Matthew 24:14.

Why I Love Randy Alcorn

Because he writes great small books about topics that people don't really like to talk about.

Because he has a "Quote of the Week" box on his website.

Because I've heard him use the word "hedonism" (referring to "Christian Hedonism") when talking about money.

Because he introducted me to the following quote by John Stott: "The thing I know will give me the deepest joy—namely, to be alone and unhurried in the presence of God, aware of His presence, my heart open to worship Him—is often the thing I least want to do."

Because he gives away all the royalties to all the books he writes.

Because he has a whole section on his website dedicated to Missions.

Because there are a lot of free audio/video downloads on his website.

Because he loves John Piper as much as I do.

Because the name of his ministry is awesome: Eternal Perspective Ministires.
