RAISING
HELL
God's plan is bigger than you thought.
LOVE. DOES. NOT. FAIL.
Christianity's most controversial doctrine, put under fire — by Julie Ferwerda.
A merciful God, reconsidered
Have you ever considered the apparent injustices, inconsistencies, and even contradictions of the doctrine of hell? Do earthly parents love their children more than God? Is being punished forever for sins committed in a short lifetime really justice?
If hell is the worst possible fate of mankind, and if God is truly loving, then…
- 01Why did He fail to mention hell in Genesis as the price for sin?
- 02Why doesn't the Old Testament ever teach about or even mention hell?
- 03Why does Paul, the apostle to the non-Jewish world, never once mention hell?
- 04Why was hell not the orthodox position of the early Church for five centuries after Christ?
- 05Why can the most studious theologians not agree if we are saved by election or free will?
Dare to question. What have you got to lose?
Picking up where Rob Bell and others leave off, Julie Ferwerda offers compelling evidence — historically, philosophically, and scripturally — for a radical view of God's loving purpose for all humanity.
Such a book as this is seriously needed to liberate people for a loving God!
The traditional view of hell is highly contestable. If you're ready to venture into some new territory, Bible in hand, you'll find Julie Ferwerda to be a wise, patient, and intrepid guide in Raising Hell.
Raising Hell is one of the first books I recommend to anyone who has questions about hell.

What people are saying
It's one of those books you say WOW, WOW, WOW while reading it!
It's awesome!! A great read; it keeps your attention and is so well written. All the points are presented so clearly and organized step-by-step.
So right this minute, I am sitting here in my little public library with tears streaming down my cheeks. Your book, Julie, it's beautiful.
Just finished the book. Loved it. Love Wins was more about asking great questions — your book is about great answers.
Started the book… so amazing. I'm going to have to buy half a dozen when it comes out to share around!
Such a heavy, heavy burden has been lifted. I knew God's mercy extended far more than traditional teaching.
