Are you one of the many Christians who doesn't believe in hell or is not convinced your non-Christian friends will end up there? I'll Be Damned (unless someone tells me about Jesus) will change your mind-set for good - and inspire you to do something about it. Drawing on the teachings of Jesus, Brian Jones will lead you into a head-on collision with what he calls apocalyptic urgency. This all-consuming conviction that hell is real will not only strengthen your faith, it will free you to share the good news in a way that is easy and natural. You can keep your friends AND help them for eternity. This book will show you how. Hell is one of those Bible truths that most of us would rather keep out of sight--sort of like the crazy uncle who shows up and wrecks an otherwise-perfect family gathering. In I'll Be Damned, Brian Jones shines the light on both the theology and the practical implications of this all-too-neglected topic--and he does it all in a highly readable and accessible way. That's no easy task.

This is one of those books I'll keep on my library shelf for a long time. I think you'll do the same. (Larry Osborne, pastor of North Coast Church and author of Sticky Church)There is an abundance of good books, but not many that are important. This is one of the few. It's a book you need to read. (Vince Antonucci, author of I Became a Christian and All I Got Was is Lousy T-shirt and Guerrilla Lovers)The modern-day church is guilty of talking an inordinate amount about the grace of God and a minuscule amount about the wrath of God. Brian Jones tackles a tough topic and does so both biblically and graciously. The world doesn't need to be told it's going to hell.

It needs to be shown how to get to heaven. Brian Jones does just that! (Dave Stone, senior minister of Southeast Christian Church)In a time when many are trying to do away with hell, Jones accepts its reality without compromise and shows us biblically why we must do the same. In addition, this book comes straight from Jones's heart. In it we are confronted with sound doctrine but are also moved by the author's personal testimonies and by the abundance of illustrative ministry experiences that appear throughout. Jones not only effectively convicts us of the 'apocalyptic urgency' of warning sinners about hell but also gives very down-to-earth lessons on how to evangelize. I hope every Christian reads this book and every preacher uses it as a sermon resource. (Jack W. Cottrell, professor of theology at Cincinnati Christian University)At a time when some pastors are denying the reality of hell, Brian Jones's engaging work provides a welcome antidote to this heresy.

Great stories and fresh illustrations are woven together with sound biblical teaching to produce a book that is a readable, often humorous account of why there is a hell. I especially appreciate that this is a practical book, full of real-life application we can all use to lead others to an eternity in heaven as opposed to hell. (Bob Russell, retired senior minister of Southeast Christian Church)Brian Jones is a courageous voice of truth, grace, and love. His writing always challenges me, and his life inspires me. This book moves me, as it will you. It will be a significant tool for our dialogue on an important subject. The stakes couldn't be higher. (Gene Appel, senior pastor of Eastside Christian Church) With a pastor's heart and a strong biblical grasp, Brian Jones shows the importance of having an eternal perspective for today.

I'll Be Damned will challenge you to reconsider the Bible's teaching on this important topic and to work out the practical implication for our lives. Compassionately written and intelligently argued, this is a message we should all wrestle with and take to heart. (Jud Wilhite, author of row It Down and senior pastor of Central Christian Church, Las Vegas).
