What does the Bible REALLY say about hell? It depends on who you ask! There are many interpretations of what the Bible says, from traditionalism to universalism. During my young adult life, I began to question some of the sermons I was hearing.

How could God be a loving God when I felt if I told a lie, He would strike me with lightning, or worse. Let me be your Virgil as in Dante's Inferno and guide you through all the different interpretations of hell.

Then I challenge you to make your own decisions and learn what I believe after my research. Rev.

Dr. Frances Mae Newman is the pastor of Bear Creek United Methodist Church in Lucasville, Ohio and Alma United Methodist Church in Alma, Ohio.

She is a graduate of Global Grace Seminary in Texas and Newburgh Theological Seminary in Indiana. She is the mother of a son who lives in Florida and a daughter who lives next door, and a grandson who lives in Columbus, Ohio.

Her hobbies are crocheting and reading, and now it seems, writing. She was inspired to write this book while writing her dissertation for her PhD in Biblical Studies and the fact that there were so many ideas of what hell would be like.

Read the book and then decide for yourself. .
