I heard Mr. Wallace interviewed on Dennis Prager’s radio program December 30, 2011. It was a terrific interview of a remarkable individual !! I’d very much appreciate any materials available re what Mr. Wallace calls, “Secret Giving”. I’m purchasing 3 copies of his book today; one for myself, one for my daughter (who recently decided NOT to go to Med. School), and one for my (ex-)husband (of 35 years), who has lost his faith in Jesus. Thank you for any information you may be able to give me re “Secret Giving”.

Randy, I finally had a moment to read ‘The Touch’ during this busy holiday season. What a thoughtful gift you have masterfully crafted to help others and lift them up. The book accomplishes all you wanted and more! I could not put it down. Beautiful messages written within a gripping story. You are such an inspiration. I loaned the book to a dear friend whose husband had surgery for cancer yesterday. As he waited to go into surgery, they both found a moment of levity as a surgeon entered the room and turned around, then they looked at your book and back up realizing he could have been posing for the cover of your book. The surgery went very well. Your gift keeps on giving. Thank you so very much.

As one who has been under the “knife” so many times in so many surgeries from so injuries, if only I had had a surgeon with gifts like these. Great story for those questioning their own faith, as those in this novel of redemption question theirs. http://www.SurvivingOurWorld.com

My wife and I have read “The Touch.” We both read it in a day. We could not put it down. It’s a love story between God and the charcters and the readers.It is awesomely inspiring. Please let God inspire you to write more of these type of books. We thank you for this labor of love.

Piercingly heartfelt story! Highly recommended. And the author interview at the end was an unexpected bonus. Truly inspiring, as anyone familiar with Mr. Wallace’s prior work would expect. Though I’m sure it would make him uncomfortable to hear it, this writer has easily become one of my idols.

Comment on Book Signing in Tustin THIS Saturday by gene

I just wanted to share with others my experience at the book signing. I left work for a chance to meet him and didn’t know what to expect. I prayed I’d have just a short window to share with him my struggle of faith over the last 10 years and wow how God provides.

Perhaps the most encouraging thing was his sharing his heart of compassion. To hear a man who has been so blessed, share about his desire to help others understand the importance of faith is nothing short of a miracle. For me it was like meeting one of Jesus’ disciples and just listening to him teach on the depth of God’s love.

Randall, God bless you and your family. And please continue to post up your thoughts on life, faith and God.

Hi Mr. Wallace,
My son, Ryan Holly was in your class at Pepperdine. Just wanted to thank you for the impact you have made on Ryan’s life. I appreciate the fact that you are dedicated to producing work in Hollywood that has the potential to change hardened hearts. I just finished reading The Touch and have passed my copy on to Ryan. There are many passages in the book that have been marked up as they tugged at my heart. I was elated to discover that the book had a glorious ending! Blessings, Terrie

Comment on Three Movies to Watch Over and Over Again by gene

Excellent choices. Ennio’s score for The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is outrageously good. And Pulp was an amazing film no doubt. For me I would have to say Star Wars (all the movies), The Fiddler on the Roof, Braveheart. All of them having themes of justice, freedom or truth – not just because they’re biblical but because they ring true to me. Really there are so many great films it’s almost an unfair question; The Sound of Music, Forest Gump, And so many others.

Randal, will you ever allow us to ask you questions which you could answer in a post? I would ask – While making your movies did you ever get repulsed, from having seen it too many times, from any of your movies? Perhaps writing them? writes and re-writes?

Comment on A Quote NOT from Chesterton by Gene

Also, I believe he was hung by the neck not on a meat hook. I could be wrong about that.

Comment on A Quote NOT from Chesterton by Gene

About a year ago or so, I watched a documentary on D. Bonhoeffer and love it. This exact quote moved me to tears.

On the doctrine of grace, I know it’s an age old debate, but I tend to think we Protestants have it right in one sense and wrong in another. If we say grace is not cheap, then are we implying it’s expensive? Are you willing to say that our salvation is expensive? It sort of implies that man does have to come up with something in order to be saved. In my opinion Mr. Wallace, perhaps we take these metaphors too literally and often pit them against one another leading us down a trail of confusion. On one hand we use the “costly” language in order to communicate the depth of the commitment – “it will cost you your life”. But on the other hand we avoid it in order to communicate the love of God (Grace) “God’s love is unconditional and costs nothing”.
