Hell in the Hands of a Gracious God: An Exploration of Faith and Hell in Light of a Purposeful God

For centuries it has been taught that Hell is an end in itself. In "Hell In The Hands Of A Gracious God" author Terry McCall argues that Hell is better seen as a means to an end. The author believes in a literal Hell. He believes Hell is an afterlife experience, a place of darkness, separation, and sorrow.
Yet McCall also believes that those who go to Hell are not separated from God. Rather, they are separated to God, facing those "unsearchable judgments" of a gracious God. He believes Hell is eternal, but eternal in nature not duration.
If you have always struggled with the traditional teaching on Hell, especially in light of a purposeful, sovereign, and gracious God, you will find this author's argument a compelling alternative to an otherwise perplexing doctrine.

McCall works through issues of faith by relating stories of life and the stories of scripture to topics such as :

The voices that shape our lives
The regeneration to come
The obedience of Jesus
The origin of faith
The origin of the Hell we know

The author then offers up an alternative read on the final judgment
