While there are many volumes about heaven and the rewards for Christians after they die there are far fewer about hell.
This is a clear book, aimed at Christians, to give a clear teaching on this subject.
It is readable and doesn't dwell on the gore and yukky bits but doesn't cut corners either. It compares different teachings on the afterlife and uses the bible to show where errors can be found in these views.
Subjects covered include :
biblical teaching
reincarnation
annihilationism
all forgiving God
purgatory

In an age when even "evangelical" preachers shy away from this subject John Blanchard is to be commended for his courage in grasping the nettle and boldly declaring the truth.
Preachers and evangelists who do not warn of Hell are betraying their calling and not dealing faithfully with their hearers. How many of the lost will say on the judgment day "you didn't warn me!" - truly their blood will be on our hands if we don't speak the truth about eternity.
Not only is this a book that cearly states the Biblical position on eternal damnation but it also correctly points out the errors of the "annihilationist" position. Furthermore, I was particularly moved by the section that dealt with the conscience - indeed, one of the most awful aspects of Hell's sufferings will be the fact that the damned will be constantly reminded of the lost opportunities to be saved.
Finally, if there is no eternal punishment then what are we saved from? The result of a book like this should be to spur us on to greater efforts in evangelism remembering that we are on a rescue mission.

From the beginning this book is clearly struggling for credibility, which is neatly summed up in Blanchard's statement '..on completing studies into the treatment of people in Hell...' 'Studies' would appear to be a rather grand description given the amount of Hell residents that would have been interviewed! Blanchard rambles through his usual pseudo rigour but as usual all is based on insubstantial and highly questionable source material. The underlying flaw in the construction of the book is a complete absence of intellectual objectivity - the conclusion has been drawn and then all available material is twisted, stretched and squashed to fit this conclusion. This is a book written to frighten, with the aim of persuading people to the narrow Blanchard view of faith. However, if your interest is in how silly some of the fringe faiths can become, this is the book for you!
