23 Minutes In Hell: One Man's Story About What He Saw, Heard, and Felt in that Place of Torment

|
| | More details | "My sincere hope is that this book is the closest you will ever come to experiencing hell for yourself"--Bill Wiese saw the searing flames of hell, felt total isolation, and experienced the putrid and rotting stench, deafening screams of agony, terrorizing demons, and finally, the strong hand of God lifting him out of the pit--"Tell them I am coming very, very soon!" Wieseâs visit to the devilâs lair lasted just twenty-three minutes, but he returned with vivid details etched in his memory. Since this life-changing ordeal, he has spent the last seven years studying the Scriptures to find answers and has listed more than 150 Bible verses referencing hell. Everyone is curious about the afterlife, and now Wiese shares his insights to commonly asked questions such as: - Is hell a literal burning place?
- Where is hell?
- Do you have a body in hell?
- Are there Degrees of punishment in hell?
- Are there children in hell?
- Can Demons torment people in hell?
- Can "good" people go to hell?
"Even if you donât believe my story, I hope you will believe the Scriptures and avoid hell just the same."

Becoming Your Spouse's Better Half: Why Differences Make a Marriage Great
by: Rick Johnson
Publisher: Revell Published: 2010-01-01 ASIN: B0038636H2
Read reviews >> |
|
| | More details | | It's no secret that men and women are different. And it's no secret that they don't always get along because of these differences, even when they love each other. But having a successful marriage is not about finding the perfect person to marry. It's about loving someone in an unselfish, Christlike manner. Whatever we want out of marriage--unconditional love, forgiveness, passion--that is what we have to give to our spouse. Rick Johnson shows couples how to go beyond merely tolerating each other's differences to using those God-given differences to add spice and passion to their relationship. |

Beginning at the End (Finding God When Your World Falls Apart)
by: Cherie Hill
Publisher: Published: 2011-07-01 ASIN: B00599RFCI
Read reviews >> |
|
| | More details | At some point, the trials of life will bring us to a place of believing that we're at "The End." It is in our pain and desperation that we call out to a God who seems so distant. Our questions are endless. But what we find is that for all the questions we have for God . . . He has questions for us too.
"Beginning at The End" will take you on a profound journey through the Biblical book of Job. You will discover that its message goes much deeper than what appears on the surface . . . and so does your life. You will find that when you come to "The End," it is really just the "Beginning," when you encounter the Almighty God who offers forgiveness for the past, faith for the future and grace for the present moment.
"Cherie Hill has a heart for the brokenhearted. With true compassion she communicates God's personal and infinite love for all who suffer and search for meaning. I highly recommend this book." -Father Jonathan Morris, author of "The Promise," theological advisor in "The Passion of the Christ," and FOX News Analyst.

Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul
by: John Eldredge
Publisher: Thomas Nelson Published: 2007-07-10 ASIN: B001E96LPE
Read reviews >> |
|
| | More details | Every little girl has dreams of being swept up into a great adventure, of being the beautiful princess. Sadly, when women grow up, they are often swept up into a life filled merely with duty and demands. Many Christian women are tired, struggling under the weight of the pressure to be a "good servant," a nurturing caregiver, or a capable home manager. What Wild at Heart did for men, Captivating is doing for women. Setting their hearts free. This groundbreaking book shows readers the glorious design of women before the fall, describes how the feminine heart can be restored, and casts a vision for the power, freedom, and beauty of a woman released to be all she was meant to be. By revealing the core desires every woman shares-to be romanced, to play an irreplaceable role in a grand adventure, and to unveil beauty-John and Stasi Eldredge invite women to recover their feminine hearts, created in the image of an intimate and passionate God. Further, they encourage men to discover the secret of a woman's soul and to delight in the beauty and strength women were created to offer. |

Celebration of Discipline: The Path to Spiritual Growth
by: Richard J. Foster
Publisher: HarperSanFrancisco Published: 1998-10-01 ASIN: 0060628391
Read reviews >> |
|
| | More details | In the twenty years since its publication, Celebration of Discipline has helped over a million seekers discover a richer spiritual life infused with joy, peace, and a deeper understanding of God. For this special twentieth anniversary edition, Richard J. Foster has added an introduction, in which he shares the story of how this beloved and enduring spiritual guidebook came to be. Hailed by many as the best modern book on Christian spirituality, Celebration of Discipline explores the "classic Disciplines," or central spiritual practices, of the Christian faith. Along the way, Foster shows that it is only by and through these practices that the true path to spiritual growth can be found. Dividing the Disciplines into three movements of the Spirit, Foster shows how each of these areas contribute to a balanced spiritual life. The inward Disciplines of meditation, prayer, fasting, and study, offer avenues of personal examination and change. The outward Disciplines of simplicity, solitude, submission, and service, help prepare us to make the world a better place. The corporate Disciplines of confession, worship, guidance, and celebration, bring us nearer to one another and to God. Foster provides a wealth of examples demonstrating how these Disciplines can become part of our daily activities-and how they can help us shed our superficial habits and "bring the abundance of God into our lives." He offers crucial new insights on simplicity, demonstrating how the biblical view of simplicity, properly understood and applied, brings joy and balance to our inward and outward lives and "sets us free to enjoy the provision of God as a gift that can be shared with others." The discussion of celebration, often the most neglected of the Disciplines, shows its critical importance, for it stands at the heart of the way to Christ. Celebration of Discipline will help motivate Christians everywhere to embark on a journey of prayer and spiritual growth. |

Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God
by: Francis Chan
Publisher: David C. Cook Published: 2008-05-01 ASIN: 1434768511
Read reviews >> |
|
| | More details | | God is love. Crazy, relentless, all-powerful love. Have you ever wondered if weâre missing it? Itâs crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe--the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor--loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. Whether youâve verbalized it yet or not...we all know somethings wrong. Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isnât working harder at a list of doâs and donâts--itâs falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis Chan describes it, you will never be the same. Because when youâre wildly in love with someone, it changes everything. |

Read reviews >> |
|
| | More details | | How could a loving God send people to hell? Will people have a chance after they die to believe in Jesus and go to heaven? With a humble respect for Godâs Word, Francis Chan and Preston Sprinkle address the deepest questions you have about eternal destiny. Theyâve asked the same questions. Like you, sometimes they just donât want to believe in hell. But, as they write, âWe cannot afford to be wrong on this issue.â This is not a book about who is saying what. Itâs a book about what God says. Itâs not a book about impersonal theological issues. Itâs a book about people God loves. Itâs not a book about arguments, doctrine, or being right. Itâs a book about the character of God. Erasing Hell will immerse you in the truth of Scripture as, together with the authors, you find not only the truth but the courage to live it out. |

Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life
by: Richard Rohr
Publisher: Dreamscape Media Published: 2011-05-24 ASIN: 1611202248
Read reviews >> |
|
| | More details | In the first half of life, we are naturally preoccupied with establishing ourselves; climbing, achieving, and performing. But as we grow older and encounter challenges and mistakes, we need to see ourselves in a different and more life-giving way. This message of falling down - that is in fact moving upward - is the most resisted and counterintuitive of messages in the world's religions. Falling Upward offers a new paradigm for understanding one of the most profound of life's mysteries: how those who have fallen down are the only ones who understand "up." We grow spiritually more by doing it wrong than by doing it right, and the disappointments of life are actually stepping stones to the spiritual joys in the second half of life. |

For Women Only: What You Need to Know about the Inner Lives of Men
by: Shaunti Feldhahn
Publisher: Multnomah Books Published: 2004-07-28 ASIN: 1590523172
Read reviews >> |
|
| | More details | Whatâs going on in a manâs mind? From their early days, every woman has struggled to understand why males behave the way they do. Even long-married women who think they understand men have only scratched the surface. Beneath a manâs rugged exterior is an even more rugged, unmapped terrain. What bestselling author Shaunti Feldhahnâs research reveals about the inner lives of men will open womenâs eyes to what the men in their lifeâboyfriends, brothers, husbands, and sonsâare really thinking and feeling. Men want to be understood, but theyâre afraid to âfreak outâ the women they love by confessing what is happening inside their heads. This book will guide women in how to provide the loving support that modern men want and need.
The Truth About His Inner Life He Desperately Wants You to Know
What's going on in there? Ever been totally confused by something your man has said or done? Want to understand his secret desires and fears, his daily battles that you know nothing about?
In a woman-to-woman conversation youâll never forget, Shaunti Feldhahn takes you beneath the surface into the inner lives of men. This book is about the things we just donât âgetâ about guys. With findings from a groundbreaking national survey and personal interviews of over one thousand men, For Women Only is full of eye-opening revelations you need to not only understand the man in your life, but to support and love him in the way he needs to be loved. Grounded in biblical hope, you will discover how to love your man for who he really isânot who you think he is.
Story Behind the Book
I had no idea how clueless I was about men until I interviewed a bunch of them for my last novel. Initially, I just wanted a little insight so I could write my main (male) character. But pretty soon I found myself astonished, over and over again blurting out, âThatâs what youâre thinking?â So I did more interviews. After the novel hit shelves, dozens of women told me they also had been astonished by what I included. Clearly I wasnât the only one who needed more insight on this!
To lay the groundwork for this nonfiction book, I wrote out the half-dozen things from these interviews that had most surprised meâthings that appeared to be universal to most menâthat women desperately needed to know. I conducted a professional national survey of men to test my findings. Yepâthe survey substantiated every single one. These findings are fascinatingâand they have already changed my life and marriage. I canât wait to share them! |
