If you’re reading this post, then kudos to you for even clicking on something you knew would be about hell. Most people prefer to spend their free time doing something other than reading about eternal punishment on the Internet, but you really have to admit that it pays to be prepared if there’s even a slight chance this terrible place exists.

In his book “Hell, Rob Bell, and What Happens When People Die” Bobby Conway does a great job of clearing up the recent confusion in regard to hell, while also making an effort to show us the one and only way to heaven: Jesus Christ. While there were a few things I think should’ve been included in chapter 9 on how to be saved (a few more words on repentance and perseverance, perhaps?), I still feel comfortable recommending this book to you as a great resource on the concepts of eternity, heaven, hell, and as Rob Bell put it, “the fate of every person who ever lived.”

In addition to this volume’s convenient length of only 77 pages and price of only $3.99 on CBD, I also noted a significant reliance on God’s Word as the backbone for Conway’s arguments – a huge plus, to say the least. Rather than inserting a passage of Scripture here and there merely to give his work a level of credibility among Christians, he seems to be more concerned with the Bible’s credibility than his own and thus points his readers to an infallible source of truth rather than his own potentially fallible interpretation of it. Just to give you an idea of what I’m talking about, here’s an excerpt taken from page 35:

“Remember, our first response always should be “What does the Bible say?” not “What do I want it to say?” We don’t have the right to change it to fit our comfort level. Ultimately, we aren’t in charge of history, hell, or anything for that matter. God’s in charge, and He decides what’s just and what isn’t. If we are wise, we will adjust our ideas about heaven and hell to align with His.”

Basically, this book explains the reality of hell, the eternality of hell, the reason for hell, and the escape from hell.  If you are at all curious about these issues, or perhaps just looking for a more efficient way of explaining them to others, then I highly recommend this book and give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Thank God for someone trying to straighten out (so to speak) those who've bought Rob Bell's lies!

4 out of 5 is pretty good! I'll have to look for it!

I was pretty upset when I first heard about Rob Bell's book and am SO thankful that someone has published a book to counter it! Thanks for the review! Looks like a pretty good book!

I have never read Rob Bell's book, I have it on hold at the library but it must be pretty popular because I have been waiting for it for months, anyway, I have heard it is quite controversial. I like your review of this book and our first response to anything should be, does it line up with scripture? I might have to look into this book.
