Is Hell For Real, Or Does Everyone Go To Heaven?

by Andrew Rogers

Got my first look at a new book today, Is Hell for Real or Does Everyone Go to Heaven? With contributions by Tim Keller, Al Mohler, J.I. Packer, and Robert Yarbrough this little volume looks to pack a big punch.

And when I say “little volume” I mean it. This thing is less than 100 pages, and if you buy it online it’s less than 10 bucks. If your church members, friends, or family members are looking for a short read about hell, this is it.
