Question
I recently read a book called "My visit to Hell" by Paul Thigpen, which is based on Dante's "Inferno". I have already asked this Question but I need to use this email instead. Is anything in this book biblically justified?

Answer
Hello, Jarrett.
Things are moving so fast these days that there's no time to do book reviews, so haven't read this one.  Have read the Bible and it certainly mentions Hell.  All places where it's mentioned give me no desire to want to be there, and also makes me want to save folks I meet from it's torment.  This is the main purpose of our work.
John 6:29.  Jesus said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent".
1 Corinthians 9:23  I do all things for the sake of the Gospel, that I may become a fellow partaker of it.
I encourage to read the Bible.  If you're doing a comparison of books, then you may look at all the references to Hell listed in its' concordance.
Have a good day.
