Hell: A Guide
By Anthony DeStefano
Thomas Nelson, 2020
256 pages, hardcover $25.95
To order: EWTNRC.com or (800) 854-6316
The cosmic battle fought in heaven when Satan and his followers rebelled against God and were driven into hell by St. Michael and God’s other holy angels continues in 2020. Yet, while going about our day, we mostly forget that the devil is working tirelessly to get us into hell with him. After all, most of us are not planning to go there.
But who does go to hell, and what is it like?
In Hell: A Guide, Anthony DeStefano, best-selling author of more than 20 Christian books, including a Travel Guide to Heaven, takes readers to hell. As a tour guide, DeStefano draws extensively on Scripture “to visit the bottom of the bottomless pit without having to descend one step, to see the infamous fire and brimstone without having to get burned, to take a grand tour of all the hellish tortures you’ve heard about without having to experience them firsthand.”
At the outset, DeStefano dispels the notion that a merciful God would never send someone to hell. He notes that the Bible, the world’s major religions, the saints and our greatest spiritual leaders have all pointed to the existence of hell. In the Gospels, Jesus spoke about hell 11 times — not figuratively, but literally. “Without hell, the war between good and evil wouldn’t be a war at all,” DeStefano writes. “In fact, it wouldn’t even be a skirmish. Who cares about the attacks on the family and the attacks on the church and the attacks on our values and the attacks on life if there’s no ultimate justice and no ultimate consequences?”
