23 Minutes in Hell: One Man's Story about What He Saw, Heard, and Felt in That Place of Torment by Bill Wiese

4.0

23 Minutes in Hell is extremely powerful. I have no way of knowing if it is actually true, but even if it isn't it is a painful reminder of what we one day will face. So many people research, read reviews, and ask friends about vacation ideas, and places. No one would plan a week or two without going over everything until they were certain that is where they wanted to go. Why do we not have that much diligence for our eternity? I have no doubt that there is something other than earth. Ask anyone who is in their later years of life, and they will tell you that it seems like yesterday that they had their whole lives before them. That short amount of time, one lifetime, could that really be it? Even if you aren't a believer, do you want to gamble, or take a chance? At least read for yourselves. Our job as Christians is not to become rich, or famous. We aren't put here to save for retirement. Our job as Christians is to make sure that all of God's children know about him. It isn't our job to convince anyone, just make sure they at least have a chance. The worst part is not the evil people who will be in Hell, it's the undecided, or the people who never knew they had a decision to make. Just my opinion. :) That is what I felt about the idea behind the book. The book itself had a lot more discussion than description of Wiese's experience. There was plenty to make me understand, but I would of liked to know more.
