There were moments early on in this book that I strongly disliked it and didn’t want to finish. I talked to another person who felt the same. The complaint I had was that the author (Steve Gregg) did such a thorough job playing “devil’s advocate.” He doesn’t just examine every viewpoint on hell. For each viewpoint’s section, he adopts that viewpoint and argues it with every emotion and perhaps dishonest spin that the proponents of that view would use. So he uses some scriptures out of context in order to support the viewpoint he is highlighting in that section. He argues each one as if he truly were a believer. In order to keep your sanity as a reader, you must assume the role of a bystander listening to three different people voice their strongest arguments in turn. As they argue, you digest and weigh it all. By the end of the book you have heard the best and worst arguments for each viewpoint, which really allows for making an informed non-partial decision on this difficult subject. Read this all the way to the end, even if you want to put it down 1/3 of the way through.
