About The Author and Book
Have you loved God your whole life but also had a lurking fear of hell? Do you believe that if you don’t hold just the right beliefs, or if you’re not a good enough person, you could roast in fire for all eternity? That is terrifying, and it’s why this book came to be. If you have such fear to any degree, What the Hell is Hell? can take it away from you
forever, simply by showing you what Jesus actually said about hell. This subject, however, being important enough on its own, is also just the gateway to a remarkable journey you will take through these pages, in a unique experience. When you are halfway through reading this book, we will have covered, with relative ease,
all the essential scripture that contributes to your knowing for certain what Jesus said, and did not say, about hell. And yet, this text was born out of purely spiritual messages that you will also read, which came long before my years of intensive Bible study that would later confirm their truth.

The Doctrine of Fear
Most people who believe in God believe that God is good—God is Love. You would think that religious systems, which worship God, would also maintain that belief. Unfortunately, because of the influence of man’s ego, your religion developed with a dark side. Isn’t that natural? Ego is the assertion of self outside of God.
Your religion has two sides that cannot be separated. One side contains all the love and spiritual guidance passed on by the one you call Jesus Christ, which can bring you to God. The dark flipside is all about fear—that you cannot know or ever be with God if you don’t accept Jesus Christ as the Lord and your Savior. Through this paradigm, your life on earth has been deemed a trial of faith with eternal ramifications.
What happens after death has always been people’s ultimate fear. You were offered a way to alleviate that fear with the promise of eternal salvation (heaven), but were also threatened with a more dreadful fear—eternal damnation (hell).
Spiritual bullies—those who command you to believe as they believe and not to question what you are told—have sought to rule your religion ever since its inception. However, you may not recognize the latest evolution of their form. Though the days of bloody proselytizing are over and people are no longer burned at the stake for denying Jesus, the core spiritual belief is still the same: believe or burn—a doctrine of fear.
The entirety of the Gospels—the entire Good News—has been reduced to: you will go to heaven if you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, which is especially good news based on the alternative you’ve been given.
