Wiese’s visit to the devil’s lair lasted just twenty-three minutes, but he returned with vivid details etched in his memory, capturing the attention of national media, including the Christian Broadcasting Network, Daystar Television Network, Trinity Broadcasting Network, the Miracle Channel, Sid Roth’s It’s Supernatural!, Sean Hannity’s America, Charisma News, and many others. 

Bill Wiese experienced something so horrifying it continues to captivate the world. He saw the searing flames of hell, felt total isolation, smelled the putrid and rotting stench, heard deafening screams of agony, and experienced terrorizing demons. Finally the strong hand of God lifted him out of the pit.

Now Wiese shares his insights on commonly asked questions such as:

• Is hell a literal burning place?
• Where is hell?
• Do you have a body in hell?
• Are there degrees of punishment in hell?
• Are there children in hell?
• Can demons torment people in hell?
• Can “good” people go to hell?

Ratings and reviews

I found the title, and the sample read intriguing. There are a number of books by people who claim they've died, gone to heaven, and came back, but this is the first book I came across where someone claims he experienced actual hell. The first couple of chapters describe the experience in hell. The rest of the book explains how the experience in hell motivated the author to share it with others, and attempts to validate the experience through scripture. In a sense, I would say this book is preaching to the quire. Unbelievers aren't likely to be convinced to change their lives by reading it, assuming they even do so in the first place. Believers are already aware of hell's existence, and want to avoid going there.

I am only 13 and people may try to keep this kind of stuff from me but I already know hell is real God and Heaven are real and we can only pray and believe it is up to the Lord were we go and I believe that man was sent there for a reason to tell people its real who don't believe he was sent on a mission and I hope it has made people beleive .

Frightening and necessary, like the Buckley's medicine for your soul hell is a place to avoid always thanks to Jesus Christ. Thank you Bill Wiese as well for spreading the word and gloryfing God with every page.
