I read. Constantly. I have already read ten books this year, and of all those, Erik Raymond's book, "Is Hell for Real?", is by far the most significant and impactful one of all. In fact, although it is brief (under 100 pages) I rank it among the most significant books I've ever read in my Christian life, and I intend to give copies out to as many people as I possibly can.
I would give this book 6 or 7 stars if I could. As a youth worker I'm always on the look out for short, concise and brilliant books. He tackles the subject of hell with great care and in a pastoral way, and without shying away from the truth. I've been a Christian for 20 years and the final chapter moved me as I realised afresh the mindblowing sacrifice of Jesus for my sake, and the importance of telling others.
