Erasing Hell: What God said about eternity, and the things we've made up" By Francis Chan


Leave it to Francis Chan to rebut without technically rebutting. Anyone who has read "Love Wins" by Rob Bell would absolutely know that this book was a response to Bell's assertions. But at the same time anyone who hadn't read "Love Wins" will find a very Biblical and surprisingly academic yet easy to understand book in "Erasing Hell", that gives any Christian or non-Christian who was curious, what he/she would need to know in regards to hell.

What I liked most about the book is that it said things plainly but was backed up by very good research that anyone could read and say, "I totally get that!"

Chan was also not afraid to just be honest with Scripture and handle it very consistently. In other words he defined words from Greek to English and did it without just making the words be what he wanted them to be. He didn't try to back his argument with Scripture, he used the Scripture as his argument. And I like that.

I would recommend this book to ANYONE.
