Hell Bent: How the Fear of Hell Holds Christians Back from a Spirituality of Love
by Brian Recker
There is a black hole at the center of Christian spirituality: the doctrine of hell. No matter how hard we try to believe in a loving God, the fear of eternal torment always lurks at the back of our minds, warping our sense of what love means. Worse still, many churches act as if the point of Christianity is not to follow Jesus but to secure a get-out-of-hell-free card-and to 'save' everyone you know by converting them to your religion. But does the Bible really say we're going to hell if we don't do or believe the 'right' things? In this taboo-shattering book, former evangelical pastor Brian Recker takes an honest look at scripture and reveals what has been true all along: Hell isn't real, and God's universal love is radically inclusive, in this life and the next. We can let go of our anxiety about hell and start delighting in the heart of true spirituality as Jesus taught it: loving God, and loving our neighbors as ourselves. Whether you're Christian, exvangelical, or anywhere along a deconstruction journey, Hellbent is the perfect resource to help you replace fear and church hurt with healing and peace--
