Ever wonder 'What's The Truth About Heaven and Hell?' Well, Douglas A. Jacoby tackles not only these two topics but also answers a plethora of other questions dealing with afterlife, and also the interpretation of the Bible as well. He breaks his book down into six parts, providing eighteen chapters of insightful information that touch on many topics relevant to the afterlife, not only providing answers but also providing scripture references that one can read for themselves. At the end of each chapter there is an "In Brief" section. While some of the "In Briefs" are comprised of questions that will have the reader contemplating what they believe, other "In Brief" sections are like a PowerPoint paragraph that really homes in on the meat of the topic for the relevant chapter.
As someone who studies my Bible daily, I have often wondered about Heaven and Hell and what the truth really is. I was anxious to read what Douglas A. Jacoby had to say on these pressing topics. Honestly, while I didn't agree with some of his answers, his ideals really challenged me to consider what I believe, and where those beliefs came from. One of my favorite sections of this book was part five, which answers questions on topics such as Angels, Ghosts, and near death experiences, just to name a few. Overall, the author does a great job of tackling tough subjects that don't always have distinct answers. His writing style is very conversational and easy to understand, and he doesn't try to push ideals. Instead, he shines the light on several possibilities and allows the reader to come to their own conclusions, which was very refreshing.
When I picked up the book, I read it through in one sitting because I was so interested in what he was sharing. Now I am rereading it at a much more leisurely pace and using it as a Bible study. Anyone who has ever wondered what happens to us once we die might just find the answers they are looking for in What's The Truth About Heaven and Hell.
