Erasing Hell: What God Said About Eternity, and the Things We've Made Up

"Francis and Preston accurately and clearly reflect the biblical teaching on heaven, hell and the eternal destiny of everyone who ever lived. They provide a timely reminder that we don't define God, but he reveals himself to us in the pages of Scripture." - Tremper Longman, Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies, Westmont College, Author of Reading the Bible with Heart and Mind

Erasing Hell is an extraordinarily important book. Francis Chan speaks with trembling and compassion. He recognizes this debate is about God, His nature and His authority. At stake is whether or not we will trust Him. Francis lays his heart on the table; I was not only informed, but moved. It’s rare that a book mixes straight-from-the-heart talk with diligent citation of Scripture. Erasing Hell is highly readable yet goes deep and detailed exactly when it needs to. Preston Sprinkle’s research and Francis Chan’s presentation are a dynamic combination. This remarkable book embraces not what, in pride, we want to believe, but what, in humility, we must believe. My heartfelt thanks to Francis Chan for taking us to God’s Word in a Christlike spirit of grace and truth. And for calling on us not to apologize for God, but to apologize to God for presuming to be wiser and more loving than our Savior. - Randy Alcorn
