March 4: Today we are excited to release Charlie Campbell's new DVD: "Hell Under Fire: Answers to Skeptics' Questions About Hell."

Description: Skeptics and critics of the Christian faith have raised some tough questions regarding the Bible’s teaching on hell, questions like: How can a God of love send anybody to hell? Why would God have created us, if He knew in advance that so many people would be eternally lost? Does God send people to hell if they’ve never heard of Jesus? Isn’t an everlasting existence in hell an unjust punishment for the sins done in a finite life? Isn’t it unjust that God would give out the same punishment to everybody? In this study, Charlie Campbell responds to these questions (and others) and the misconceptions behind them with solid biblical answers. This DVD was shot in a WIDESCREEN format and contains many of the images Charlie uses in his PowerPoint presentation. DVD length: 60 minutes
