Just finished this book and I’m still processing. I took some notes while reading I thought were very important. I think Bell does an excellent job of breaking down the context and the original language of scripture in a way any person can read and understand and even relate to. Bells book on hell is the first book I’ve read from a POV where I was completely open. Hands open, heart open, eyes opened and it’s changing me. Hell was something I always had a picture of as a little girl that I would end up in because I was not perfect... I know that’s extreme but I felt that I had to give my life to Jesus every night before I went to bed with the intention and prayer to not go to hell. I try not to look at my childhood with bitterness or resentment but with the perspective that this is what a lot of people believe about God. It’s grieved me so much I decided I needed research the Bible myself on this. And I opened a can of worms for myself. My view on what hell is and isn’t will never be the same again and it’s in turn helped me to grow deeper with God. I am so thankful for my eyes to be opened to the truth finally! Looking forward to walking this new freedom and truth walk with Jesus!
