Excellent study on the doctrines of heaven and hell from author Edward Donnelly. Knowing the biblical teaching on hell is vital simply because of the sheer weight of biblical testimony, but also because of the reality of the doctrine, and the pervasive unbelief in a literal hell today. Hell reminds us of our littleness, the awfulness of sin, and brings us face to face with the overwhelming presence of God (14). Hell blows back the fog of our own man-centeredness (9).

The first two chapters alone are worth the price of the book. Donnelly avoids hypothetical conjecture and remains firmly tied to the biblical texts. He gives an expansive view of heaven and hell in the relatively short space of about 125 pages. ( )

Excellent synopsis of the doctrine of Heaven and Hell. Very challenging and call to the believer to keep pressing on for this present place is not our home. A grander future awaits all who trust in Christ. ( )
