Erasing Hell

I love the perfect combination of authors in this book. It's like Paul and James combined. Preston is good with the depth of biblical knowledge on the topic, and explaining it in laymen terms, while Francis is good with the applications of the truth. I think the main thrust of this book is to correct universalism view, which is quite dangerous, as the destiny of people hangs on it. At the end, in the appendix, there is a Q & A on the topic of hell. Greatly recommended for anyone who wants to learn this topic.

Much like Crazy Love, Erasing Hell is amazing if you make it yourself. Francis Chan writes eloquently and in a convicting way but it's most effective if you pause and reflect on what is read. Really challenges the core of the heart of what is avoided frequently in the churches. Great confronting read!

I found this book very difficult to read, not because of the style but because of the topic. Francis Chan and Preston Sprinkle do a fantastic job of giving a concise overview of what the Bible says about hell. They have done well to be as objective as possible and allow the Bible to speak for itself. The conclusions they come to are a result of examining Scripture, Jewish history and the early church and should impact us in the 21st century. They present a consistent view that hell is a terrible reality and all Christians need to understand and be motivated to save others from it. This book is readable and an excellent resource for any study on the biblical view of hell. It is concise enough for all readers to access and detailed enough to promote further studies. I consider this to an essential read.
