Not too long ago, on July 5th, 2011 actually, Francis Chan released a new book called Erasing Hell. Among other things, it talks about what the Bible really states when it comes to Hell.

The Book of Eli, And Truth
Media remains to be such a predominant influence in our culture. As young people, we have no choice but to be immersed in this media influence, especially when it comes to MOVIES! It seems to me that finding the balance between upholding moral Christian standards and engaging in modern cinema is becoming more and more [...]
