Book Review: Erasing Hell by Francis Chan

What are the kind of things you have thought about hell or even your friends have said? 

Why would a loving God send people to hell?

Will people have a chance after they die to believe in Jesus and go to heaven?

We have all asked these questions in this book, Francis Chan and Preston Sprinkle address the questions you may have about eternal destiny.  Should we believe in Hell? Is it true?

This book covers what God says - it is a book about who God is – about his character.  It takes us into the scripture and what the Bible has to say about hell.

This book was a good read and isn’t a deep theological read, it is an honest book which tries to help you find a grasp and a truth about what the Bible and God say about hell.

Book Review: D is for Dahl

D is for Dahl is a gloriumptious A to Z guide to the world of Roald Dahl.  It is not a biography but is an A to Z of amazing facts – some of them are silly, some are funny but definitely all are true.

It is a book that brings to life the world’s favourite Children’s writer and is a real treasure trove into his world.  We discover more about Roald’s favourite things, about his family and about his wonderful things.

Here are some of the facts:

The Apple – This was Roald Dahl’s nickname at home. He was the only boy of five children and the apple of his mother’s eye – that is to say her favourite.

Blue Spit – Witches’ spit is blue.  Look out for the faint blue tinge on their teeth and gums – then run.

If – If Roald Dahl hadn’t been an author, he could have been a doctor, a boxer, a golfer, an inventor, a scientist, a botanist or a picture frame.  He had a natural talent for all those things.

Random Roald Fact

His soup had to be piping hot - He hated cold or lukewarm soup and would noisily complain about it to waiters, much to the embarrassment of his children.
