Erasing Hell: What God Said about Eternity, and the Things We've Made Up by Francis Chan, Preston M. Sprinkle
4.0
Francis Chan is a really cool guy, I think. He writes very consisely and clearly. If you're looking for a nice book that organizes the major references of hell with interpretation, this book works for that. He is very honest about when the Bible is unclear and doesn't push a person interpretation with being clear that it is uncertain. A quick, simple, challenging and encouraging book.
The downside is that this is a surface level, not very deep discussion. Chan gets to his point and moves on. But for someone who wants to get more detail/interpretations ect, you won't get it. Chan''s main point is hell is a real place, we don't know much about it but it should be avoided at all costs. Anything else is secondary.
A great book but I think that if you come into this book fully convinced that there is no hell, Chan isn't going to spend much time trying to convince you otherwise. He's more interested in how his(and my) view of hell should affect the way you live; That you should be pushed to care about people more.
