God wants us to know that above all else, He loves and adores us. When the knowledge of God fuels the love for God, we are more equipped to serve and honor Him with our lives. As our understanding of God increases and what He wants us to know is revealed to us through the Holy Spirit, the majesty of His infinite excellence and love shines. This understanding helps us to adore and appreciate His essence and the greatness of the gifts He has given to us. In 2 Corinthians 4:6, Paul wrote: "For God, who said: 'Let the light shine out of darkness!'" And this is the same God who made His light shine in our hearts to let us know that His own divine greatness (glory) is seen in the face of Christ! What God Wants You to Know is a journey through both testaments that will open your eyes to an understanding of just who God is and demonstrates His foreshadowing of the nature of Christ throughout the Old Testament and His presentation of Christ and His plan for salvation throughout the New Testament. What God Wants You to Know will ignite a thirst to understand the Heavenly Father in a new way and set readers on a path to understand who He calls them to be.

All You Want to Know About Hell breaks down the three most popular views on hell and tells us what the Bible really says about this terrifying and mystifying place. It is an undeniable fact that the very concept of hell is shrouded in mystery. We know what books and movies tell us hell is like, but we're left with so many questions. Is hell simply a place where sinners are sent to suffer for their sins, or is it more than that? How could a loving God send anyone to hell? Does the Bible give us a clear and consistent picture of hell? What does the existence of hell tell us about God's character? Steve Gregg--author of Revelation: Four Views--will take you on a tour of the three most popular views on hell and walk you through a clear explanation of what Scripture really says. From the "traditional" view of hell as a place of eternal torment to the early Christian view that hell is a place of suffering intended to purge sin and to bring about repentance, no other book gives such in-depth biblical insight into the truths about hell that are hidden in all the hype. All You Want to Know About Hell is an accessible and interesting read for laypeople, pastors, and scholars alike.
