Most Christians have, at one time or another, wondered what heaven will really

be like. But what about hell? Have you ever wondered what the place prepared

for the devil and his followers will be like? Do the countless cartoon drawings

we've all seen accurately portray what hell is really like? Or has the humorous

content of those cartoons confused us as to what it is really like and subtly

removed our revulsion for such an awful place?

Most of us would rather not think about hell, but if it was important enough

for Jesus to discuss, then maybe we should take another look at this unpleasant

topic. A clear understanding of hell can, and should, be a powerful motivator

for obedience to Jesus' final command to go and make disciples and thus play a

part in saving as many as possible from an eternity separated from God.

In his book, Hell: Shedding Light on a Dark Place, author Timothy Pitts uses a

laid-back, easy-to-read style to provide a biblical look at what hell will be like.

You’ll discover that "the main thing about hell"—while a truth that is a simple

no-brainer—has far-reaching implications. As you read, ask God to change your

heart and to give you a greater compassion for those who are rushing through

life towards such an awful fate.
