In Hell? No! Rick Lannoye masterfully unravels all the ploys used to perpetuate the fear of Hell, beginning with the history of its pagan origins, the process by which Christianity adopted Hades' Realm from Greek mythology and how the original gospels have been manipulated to keep the unfounded fear of Hell alive today. Most importantly, Lannoye provides practical advice to anyone--no matter how emotionally and spiritually abused--about how they can be set free and become absolutely certain there is no such place as Hell.

Unlike thousands of other "experts" promising all sorts of ways to make Marriage work, social reformer, political activist and anthropology enthusiast, Rick Lannoye, has boldly stepped forward to question whether or not there just might be something about Tying the Knot itself that chokes love to death! The Honeymoon Ends With "I Do" is the result of an arduous, personal journey alongside a decade of intense research on how Marriage damages love.

And does anything purported to be his message, his Good News, have any relevance to the people of the 21st Century?

One course is to give up and consider the Bible too confusing or contradictory. Another would be to let the church you like tell you what the Scriptures mean without question and assume all the others must be wrong. However, if you would much rather find out how to properly interpret the Bible, with the help of independent and objective scholarship, this book is for you!

When our species first learned how to farm and build permanent settlements, things may have gone well at first. All those who worked to grow food (instead of having to find it, as we did for about 200,000 years before) got to consume it themselves and trade any left over for other goods or services. Then, one day, someone with a big club said to most everyone else, “I'm no longer doing all this hard work; you grow the food for me and, if you do as I say, I’ll let you have some of it back so you won’t starve…or else!”
