• Though hell is probably not your everyday dinner topic, it slips itself into many conversations at a moment’s notice, for example, “what the hell,” “go to hell,” “it was hell” - but does anybody really know what it is?

    The images that most often pop into our minds when hell is mentioned are a goaty-looking red guy sporting horns and a devilish grin all while poking some sinner with a pitchfork, or perhaps an ocean of fire brimming with the tormented wicked. Is either of these images right? What does the Bible really say about hell? Is hell truly necessary? Is God a thwarted lover who throws people who reject him into hell? Why can’t God just forgive people? How could a loving God throw his creation into torment forever?

    In The Myths of Hell, we're going to chew on some answers for these questions:

    • Where is hell?
    • Who's in charge of hell?
    • Who's in charge of death?
    • Isn't Sheol the Old Testament version of hell?
    • Is it true that Jesus descended to hell?
    • Did Jesus believe in Hades?
    • What evil powers are in Hades?
    • Who's in hell right now?
    • Where did the idea of hell come from?
    • Is there really going to be a lake of fire?
    • Do bad people go to hell right away when they die?
    • What is the final punishment for the wicked?

    Book 1: The Myths of Hell
    Book 2: The Ache for Paradise
    Book 3: Does Hell Really Last Forever?

    A Beautiful Hell...perhaps like you’ve never seen it before.

  • The first book in the "A Beautiful Hell" trilogy sums up what hell is not, but doesn't answer any questions about what hell is.

    What does the Bible really say about hell? Is hell truly necessary? Is God a thwarted lover who throws people who reject him into hell? Why can’t God just forgive people? And how is it possible for Jesus' death to save anybody from going to hell?

    There are good answers to these questions, and to find these answers we must dive into the essence of God, into our own essence, and into God's relentless ache to restore paradise. Something happened on the cross, something deeper than you know, leading both good and evil to a terrible, breathtaking, fierce, and beautiful hell.

  • This book was not intended to be written. But after the rough drafts of the first two books in the “A Beautiful Hell” series were finished, it became apparent that it had to be written.

    Will sinners really suffer for eternity, tormented forever in hell? Many would say this is the traditional Christian position on hell. Phrases like “unquenchable fire, undying worms, smoke that rises forever, eternal punishment and eternal fire” seem to imply that eternal torment is unavoidable. But when one looks at the big picture from both Old and New Testaments, a different image emerges, especially when God's presence itself is understood as the Eternal Fire that both delights the righteous and terrifies the wicked.
