--Jonathan invites us to imagine a God whose love is so compelling and relentless that, in the end, we are wooed—not threatened—into surrender. —Loren Richmond Jr., Chaplain and Ministry Consultant, host of the Future Christian Podcast

--Jonathan Foster unpacks the “why” behind shifting views on hell with a compassionate mix of honesty, depth and solid research. This will help so many people who are wrestling with big questions in a way that is both evidence-based and relatable. —Leslie Nease, author of Honoring the Journey: The Deconstruction of Sister Christian and Host of Honoring the Journey Podcast

--This is not simply another boring “hot take” on hell. Instead, Foster offers a deep, honest, and human analysis of how Love screws with our tired conceptions of who’s in and who’s out. Love, it turns out, is more difficult than fear, retribution, and wrath. Are you up for the challenge? If so, let Foster be your guide! —Josh Patterson, host of (Re)thinking Faith Podcast
