Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} In Hell by L. Marshall James 8 Bible Verses on Christ’s Descent into Hell. P reviously we examined “Why Did Christ Descend into Hell?” and discussed the four abodes of Hell. On this Holy Saturday, here are eight Bible verses for you to keep near you for apologetic purposes. These eight verses describe the descent of Christ into the Limbo of the Fathers (also known as Abraham’s Bosom). Saint Paul teaches us in Ephesians 4:9 that Christ our Lord descended into Hell after He offered His life on the cross. “Now that He ascended, what is it, but because He also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?” Note here that Hell is described as having “parts” that is the four parts of Hell. Saint Peter said in Acts 2:24 that “God hath raised up Christ, having loosed the sorrows of hell, as it was impossible that He should be holden by it.” Christ loosed the Old Testament saints from hell. Saint Peter also wrote in 1 Peter 3:19 that “Christ coming in spirit preached to those spirits that were in prison, which had some time been incredulous.” On this verse, Saint Athanasius says that “Christ’s body was laid in the sepulchre when He went to preach to those spirits who were in bondage, as Peter said.” (Ep. ad Epict.) The prophet Hosea foretold the descent of Christ into Hell in Hosea 13:14 by placing these words into the mouth of the Messiah: “O death, I will be thy death; O hell, I will be thy bite.” Zechariah foretells the redemption of those in the Limbo of the Fathers in Zech 9:11: “Thou also by the blood of Thy Testament hast sent forth Thy prisoners out of the pit.” What could this mean except that the Messiah would free people from the underworld? Colossians 2:15: “Despoiling the principalities and powers, He hath exposed them confidently.” This refers to Christ’s victory over the condemned angels who are the demons of Hell. Psalm 23:7: “Lift up your gates, O ye princes,” which the medieval Gloss interprets: “that is–Ye princes of hell, take away your power, whereby hitherto you held men fast in hell”. In Ecclesiasticus 24:45, Siracides (author of Sirach) prophecies: “I will penetrate to all the lower parts of the earth.” I hope you find these helpful. If you find yourself with a Protestant who only rolls “Scripture alone,” you’ll want these in your tool belt. Please click here to sign up by Email and get one of my books for free.

In Hell follows one man through the ravages of the zombie apocalypse and his attempt to reconcile his fanatical obsession with preparing for the apocalypse with how things actually pan out. Firstly, the writing and pacing are excellent. The main character is entertaining and strikes the right balance to feel like a real person. The dialogue in the book is believable and interesting beyond what I would expect and it enriches the story well. My only complaint would be that there is a bit too much description of how the character moves through the environment. Given that he spends parts of the book all by himself though, I can understand this to a degree. What the author does spectacularly though is create a character who is both flawed and clearly no outsized hero, but still makes him likeable and someone you can admire and root for. The zombies are a mixture of traditional and unique, so should you be a zombie purist, I would suggest looking elsewhere. I enjoyed the tweaks to the lore that the author made, however, and they injected something fresh into the proceedings. The descent of people into zombiedom was also interesting for me. My main objections with the book are that the ancillary characters are not quite as well drawn as the main character, though this partially due to the constraints of the first-person narrative I think. Furthermore, none of them are so badly characterized that I had trouble believing them. Beyond this, there were a few plot points that could have used some more explaining. It's never quite clear why the main character dislikes the government so much, and the final revelation about the virus felt a bit contrived for shock value, but to the author's credit he pulls it off better than many could. Overall, if you're looking for a good zombie read, you just found one. I read zombie books like others eat popcorn. Well forget the relative dross dished up by try-hards, neck-bearded preppers, watched-the-movie buffs, played-the-video-game mouth breathers, cloners and wanna-be's because In Hell cuts a swathe through its lesser competitors. The author delivers with a creative and well-written story which places Joe Ordinary in a zombie apocalypse and soars on the wings of an engagingly relatable central character AND a knock-out twisty ending. Checklist with Big Ticks: 1. Combat action. 2. Realistic scenarios. 3. Plausible environmental description. 4. Solid balance of detail versus broad canvas. 5. Grounded perspectives - NO Ex-Special Forces Captain Marvin Rock-Jaw. (Yes. ) 6. Gut-gripping emotion. 7. Page turning engagement. 8. Freedom from obvious grammatical boo-boos (One or two misused words only.) 9. Polished writing - firmly disciplined. 10.Killer ending. (Practically Unobtainium in a zombie book.) A Top Ten Contender. Buy. Read. Enjoy! :P. I ran into this author on a forum we both visit and decided to give his book a try. I am a big lover of the zombie genre and figured that even if it sucked, it would still be an enjoyable read for me, due to how much I love the genre. I was VERY pleasantly surprised to find that this was not just another stereotypical zombie hack and slash! The main character is so richly drawn that I was immediately interested in him. He's not the normal "good guy" in a book. His emotional journey through the world changes he's thrust into is awesome. I won't give away any spoilers here, but things definitely did not go the way I was expecting and I found myself on the literal edge of my seat during the last couple chapters. For a first time author, I'm surprised and pleased to find such talent. Keep an eye on him. I anticipate great things from this guy. :) I enjoyed the zombies in this book -- if they should be called zombies. Very original and drawn well. Okay, that's the good stuff. For me the marginal part was the lead characters part with the Crusaders. The same thing went on over and over and over -- I found the middle of the book a tad boring. Most reviewer's loved the lead, Paul. I had no connection to him. I don't know why. I didn't really like him and I think I was supposed to. Lastly, the end was no big deal for me. I cry looking at a kitten. the end didn't really affect me. *gasp* It's terrible to say but I had no empathy for this character though he was a tortured soul. I would recommend this book to an audience who is sick of "shambling" zombies and wants their zombie amped up. In Hell by L. Marshall James.
