SCARY AS HELL I read this book in two days and I got the feeling that not only is hell a real place like the bible says, butthere are many poor souls that are there and will go there. A place where there is no good, hope,light,compassion.A place of complete despair. The book is factual and doesn't sugar coat this place of damnation. The good thing iswe have Christ, who has paid the ransom and price for our transgressions. If you end up there, . Interesting! Jan This book was recommended by a Catholic Apologist. It was very interesting, to say the least. If you have a doubt as to whether Hell exists, this book will make you think twice.Book was shipped promptly.. good read Melanie Dunn This is a good read overall but a little inconstant. I liked it though because it didn't dwell on any particular story or subject for too long. It served as a spiritual warning for me, not something to fret over though. Enough to focus me on the importance of growing in faith and obedience to God. It also raised to consciousness the needs of people and for us to pray for them, both those passed on and living.
