This personally was one of my favorite books that i have read this year. It first caught my attention when this girl sitting beside me was reading it. My teacher commented on the book, so i decided to read it. At first i thought it was going to be a religious type of book but then the more i read it was a "true" testimony of Bill Wiese who said he had spent 23 minutes in hell. This book was really interesting and i would recommend it for age groups above 13.

The story of a man's travels through Hell. Whether you read it as the God-given truth, or as a piece of fiction, it's still fantastically well written.Though I do believe in Hell and do
not believe all people will automatically be saved, I do not necessarily believe the authenticity of this book since the Bible says those who've seen hell can't testify about it:
Luke 16:27 Then he [the rich man in Hell] said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
Luke 16:28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
Luke 16:29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
Luke 16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
Luke 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

But the story is none-the-less a fantastic cautionary tale. ( )

I'm kind of skeptical the events took place in this book. The story just seemed very fantastic. I didn't check the scripture references. I guess this is a book that you can read and totally believe it, or read and take snippets from the concept. I will choose the latter. ( )

Arguable, not entirely biblical, misleading how you get there. Presumptuous. Friend feels it is exactly the way it is. Not reading it as she is. More to study and check biblical references , Many so far out of context. ( )

Very good book! It's about one man's true experience in hell, and subsequent return. Plenty of scriptures to back it up as well. I learned quite a few things from this that I didn't know before. A must read for those who still contends that hell does not exist! ( )
