Publisher Description
How could a loving God send people to hell? Will people have a chance after they die to believe in Jesus and go to heaven?
With a humble respect for God's Word, Francis Chan and Preston Sprinkle address the deepest questions you have about eternal destiny. They've asked the same questions. Like you, sometimes they just don't want to believe in hell. But as they write, "We cannot afford to be wrong on this issue."
This is not a book about who is saying what. It's a book about what God says. It's not a book about impersonal theological issues. It's a book about people who God loves. It's not a book about arguments, doctrine, or being right. It's a book about the character of God.
Erasing Hell will immerse you in the truth of Scripture as, together with the authors, you find not only the truth but the courage to live it out.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This polemic from preachers Chan and Sprinkle offers a direct rebuttal to Love Wins, evangelical leader Rob Bell's recent bestseller that outlines a theological case against the doctrine of eternal damnation for nonbelievers. The authors who take great pains to emphasize their initial reluctance to dwell on the subject of hell assert there is no evidence to support Bell's optimistic take on the afterlife. With the refrain "We can't afford to be wrong about this," the authors firmly if not theatrically posit that the idea of universal salvation lacks biblical grounding. Sprinkle's folksy narration is steady and sincere. His conversational reading makes the book's grave topic accessible to listeners and his delivery reflects that he and his coauthor don't want to alienate anyone even listeners who may (or may not) be headed to hell. This audiobook should find a ready-made audience among those seeking a conservative counter to Love Wins, but with an approach that offers more teaching than preaching. A David C. Cook paperback.
