Liberating you from bad ideas about God
Many people are terrified about going to hell when they die.
But does the Bible actually teach that God sends people to suffer forever in a pit of flames? No!
Read my new book on hell to discover what the Bible actually teaches about hell.
As you read, you will discover what hell is, where hell is, how you can avoid going to hell, and how you can rescue people who are in hell.

Did the flood of Genesis 6-8 actually happen? I believe so. I believe that Genesis 6-8 is an inspired and inerrant account of an actual event in history. Yet it does not reveal what many Christians think. It does not reveal that God is out to punish, kill, and destroy sinful human beings. When read through the lens of Jesus Christ and Him crucified, we see a completely different truth emerge through the flood account of Genesis 6-8.
Why is the Bible so bloody and violent? It is not because God is violent and bloody. Jesus reveals quite the opposite. Through His life, death, and teachings, Jesus reveals that God is not violent at all, but always loves and only forgives. So why is the Bible so violent? Jesus explains why in Matthew 23:29-35.
I always love reading books that attempt to explain all the violence in the Bible … especially the violence that is attributed to God. I have written two books on the subject myself, but love seeing how other people deal with this difficult topic.
So when Matthew Fleischer asked to send me a review copy of his book, The Old Testament Case for Nonviolence, I readily accepted.
What is repentance? What is evil? If you think you know, here are some harder questions: Does God ever need to repent? Does God commit evil?
Jonah 3:10 seems to indicate that God does commit evil and does repent of it. Yikes! What does that mean? This is what we look at in this study.
Greg Boyd has written three books about how to understand the violence of God, and is having a conference about it. I have read the books and am attending the conference. Here are the questions I hope to get answered.
To celebrate the launch of my book, if you buy it before September 17, 2017, and then send an email to me stating that you bought the book, I will send you some bonus materials next week.
The new books by Greg Boyd, The Crucifixion of the Warrior God, is a great book. Please read it! But just know that despite all the great insights in the book, I believe that the central thesis is wrong. Rather than withdraw from sin, God dives in.
To celebrate that my book, the Atonement of God, won a Gold Medal, I have temporarily lowered the price of the eBook on Amazon. If you haven’t read the book, this is a great time to get it. Learn to read Scripture and view God through the crucivision lens of Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
When the Bible talks about hell, or hades, or sheol, a completely different picture emerges about hell than most people think. We talk a bit about this today when we look at Jonah 2:2, where Jonah goes to hell.
