Well I really don't think this book deserves to be advertized considering its obvious hidden agenda but everyone's free to make their own determination.

Author: Bill Wiese
Book Name: 23 minutes in Hell

Agreed, but Information wants to be free! right?

Thank you.

Yes, except in this case you should say "disinformation wants to be free"
Let me throw in a few things the book says if you can believe it:
(Warning, spoilers if such a thing matters for such a book)

- Hell is a real place, physically real, a lake of fire with a pit, stench, infection, filth, evil and so on (the guy spent time there)
- Jesus himself talked to the guy and took him out of hell so that he can tell or something like that.
- Those in hell are tortured and by tortured I mean burning all the time, no time to rest or catch your breath, for all eternity.
- Most of us are going to hell because we have at some point lied, or stolen (even if it's just candy, does not need to be a hold-up in a bank) or used the Lord's name in vain (just saying Goddamn it ! is enough to go to hell according to this book)
- So Hitler and you (and me) will burn just the same, whether you kill 6 million people or just swear the Lord's name, just saying Goddamn it is the same, hell at the end of the line.
- The author knows hell's location. He says hell is actually 3700 miles deep inside earth.
- The only way to not go to hell is to convert to Christianity and accept Jesus and so on. Being a good person, paying your taxes, hurting no one and so on, is not enough, you must convert and adore Jesus.

I'll stop here cause this stuff is just as ridiculous as it is long.

And if I start debunking it, it will be even longer ...

Some interesting comments on Amazon. Please join us in the Politics and Religion thread to discuss if you'd like.

I started a thread there.

10 story detective (vol. 2) - (margaret rice, walt sheldon, fergus truslow, gene d. robinson, h. wolff sal)

that book includes 5 good stories about the detectives

coderserdar · 10-30-2011, 10:33 AM

10 story detective (vol. 3) - (david m. norman, joe archibald, j. harvey haggard, john gregory)

and it contains 4 stories, but they are not as good as the vol. 2 or vol. 1

Why do you recommend this volume? Perhaps you can explain the appeal that the stories (or this volume?) has for you?

This is all nice and fine that you are reading it. Why do you recommend this trilogy?

no

i don't recommend this volume
i think that the vol 2. is better than vol. 3 and vol. 1 is better than vol. 2
so
vol 1 > 2 > 3

Perhaps you misunderstood me (or I am not making myself clear): You posted in the Recommended Forum, which means you are recommending it.

If you're NOT recommending the volume, then why post in the Recommended Forum?

And ... what is the title? Publisher? Availability?

But this is simply the "What are we reading?" thread which happens to be contained within Reading Recommendations and does not in and of itself imply any need to recommend, only to indicate what one is reading. That gives it at least 1 out of 2 of the named forum elements.

Although I suppose a post comment of "I'm currently plowing my way through [INSERT TITLE HERE], which is worst book I've ever tried, to see how far I get before I give up in sheer disgust" counts as a sort of recommendation to avoid.

kennyc · 10-30-2011, 12:31 PM

I have a feeling something more is going on here than meets the eye.

So it's a robot in disguise?

orlok · 10-30-2011, 01:30 PM

I'm a bit confused too

. Can we only post what we are reading here if we are also recommending it?
