The very wise, erudite and wonderful Pastor Daniel Meter of Park Slope’s Old First Dutch Reformed Church has just published a new book with the bold title, Why Be a Christian If No One Goes to Hell?

I have not read it yet but I plan to because I am intriqued by the title and interested in anything Daniel Meeter does. Well almost anything.

The new book, published as an ebook by Shook Foil Books, is blurbed to be “a  warm and friendly tour through the peaceful and positive features of the Christian faith, without judgment of other religions.

Let me say that I am impressed that Meeter decided to go the ebook route. His digital tome is available on Nook, Kindle and IPad. How cool is that?

Sayeth the blurb: “The book is a practical and down-to-earth introduction for the curious, the inquirer, and anyone who wants to discover Christianity in a new light. It confidently clears away the ever-present and negative motivation for being a Christian: the fear of going to hell.”

“The conventional doctrine of people suffering in hell is not part of the original Biblical faith, and belief in hell is not required of a Christian today.

If you are shopping for a religion, want to develop your spirituality, or just want to know more about Christianity, check out Meeter’s book. Chapters include: To Be Spiritual, To Save Your Soul, To Be a Human Being, To Deal with Guilt, To Know God’s Story, To Love Your Neighbor, and many others.
