The first part of this book talks about the very grim subject of what it will be like to die lost. Nothing in this existence is as bad as or any worse than leaving this existence and entering into eternal condemnation. Jesus talked about two places of punishment. The first, called hades, is condemnation of the soul. The souls of people who have already died and were lost are there right now. The souls of people who will die lost will soon go there. Hades is not a nice place. In fact, it is a horrible place to be at even for a little while. But as bad as hades may be, gehenna will be much worse.

In that second place of condemnation, the body and soul will have been reunited. Both will suffer never ending punishment and torment on an even grander scale. People sometimes joke about dying lost. But no one in either hades or gehenna will be joking. For the person who dies lost, his or her eternal existence in gehenna will be total darkness, total terror, absolute torment, total loneliness, never seeing another thing, and without any comfort from the Lord. It is the worst possible ending to any human existence. Jesus made it clear that human beings were never meant to go there. However, the sad truth is that many already have gone to hades enroute to gehenna and many more will in the future. Hopefully, as people read this book, it will raise the awareness of some about the horribleness of dying lost.

In the second part of this book, five of the faulty views that people have about hades and gehenna are discussed. That will be followed by an explanation of how people can stay out of those two places. People die lost by choice. They also die saved by choice. One of the goals of this book is to influence people to make the right choice. Nothing in this existence is worth having if it means dying lost. Throughout history, many people have not believed that simple statement. But when one looks at the biblical data there can be no other logical conclusion.

There is one note, however, to be made with respect to the organization of this book. Something that the reader of this book might find useful is boxes that show the different passages that are being referenced at the times and in the places where they are being referenced. That way, he or she will not have to jump all over the place or get into or out of the scriptures to locate a particular reference. Hopefully that inclusion will help the reader in trying to understand the various events and to also put them into the right context. The ultimate goal of this book, as with all of my books, is to bring honor, praise, and glory to the Lord Jesus. He is the "Creator of Everything" that exists. He is the perfect savior who offered Himself on the cross at Calvary so that people can be saved. His desire is to keep everyone out of hades and gehenna. So the hope with this book is that He will place it in the hands where He wants it and accomplish with it what He wants to accomplish.
