Death. It's the one experience everyone will share...except, perhaps, for 12-year-old Jak Hamelton. Gramma Josie died in his arms, and he would do anything to bring her back. He finds an old book of hers and is whirled to a particular garden paradise where a treacherous interaction between Man, Woman and a snake usher death and evil into the world. When a mysterious benefactor named El offers Jak the opportunity to bring the dead back to life and live forever, it sounds like an impossible dream. But when Jak’s grandfather unexpectedly begins aging backwards, it appears the dream just might be reality. However, the weapon Jak’s been given to defeat death and evil doesn’t even work yet, and the serpent Beelz isn’t willing to give up the Earth without a fight. Besides that, there’s the poison... Is it really true that the dead can live forever? What will it take to restore paradise? Readers of all ages "can't put the book down!" Riveting adventure through the #1 best seller of all time - the Bible.

Somebody stole The Impossible Son. Jak had the card in his hands—a picture of a boy with tied wrists and a knife at his throat—but now it’s gone and, without it, Gramma Josie will never come back to life and neither will anybody else. He has four Thread cards left and when he meets a tribal chief named Abram, Jak is pretty sure he’s found the man on the “Father of Many” card. Yahweh has even promised to give Abram as many descendants as the stars in the sky, but Abram’s an old man and his wife can’t have kids. Sounds like it would have been a perfect match between the father who can’t have kids and the son who could never be born, but it’s just too…impossible. A traveling merchant tells Jak the Egyptian priests can bring the dead back to life—exactly what he’s looking for—but mysterious dreams begin invading Jak’s sleep, leaving him exhausted, with no idea what the dreams mean. To make matters worse, Jak finds out Yahweh has demanded a terrible sacrifice from Abram, and he’s not even sure he can trust Yahweh anymore. Where is the Impossible Son? What do the dreams mean? And is Yahweh good or evil? Between the traitor and the thief, the baker and the slave, everyone has their part to play in this second book of the Jak and the Scarlet Thread series.

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?

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.
