Book excerpt: "From the Bible through Dante and up to Treblinka and Guantánamo Bay, here is a rich source for nightmares." --The New York Times Book Review Three thousand years of visions of Hell, from the ancient Near East to modern America A Penguin Classic From the Hebrew Bible's shadowy realm of Sheol to twenty-first-century visions of Hell on earth, The Penguin Book of Hell takes us through three thousand years of eternal damnation. Along the way, you'll take a ferry ride with Aeneas to Hades, across the river Acheron; meet the Devil as imagined by a twelfth-century Irish monk--a monster with a thousand giant hands; wander the nine circles of Hell in Dante's Inferno, in which gluttons, liars, heretics, murderers, and hypocrites are made to endure crime-appropriate torture; and witness the debates that raged in Victorian England when new scientific advances cast doubt on the idea of an eternal hereafter. Drawing upon religious poetry, epics, theological treatises, stories of miracles, and accounts of saints' lives, this fascinating volume of hellscapes illuminates how Hell has long haunted us, in both life and death.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Abbie Hunter's husband, Earl, left her in 1967--taking Caleb, the elder of their identical twin boys--she was devastated. At that point, she had no idea how she was going to survive without her other son or husband. The answer soon arrived in the form of the angel Mick, who instructed Abbie to keep one thing in mind: raise Wyatt, her remaining son, as a Christian and teach him to love the Lord, regardless of the circumstances. From Mick, she discovered that Earl had been deceived by demonic forces, and now Caleb was following a destructive life path. Now in 2010, Abbie and Earl follow their sons' progress from heaven. In his mid-forties, Wyatt is a Christian author who lost his wife, Vanessa, to a demonic attack a few years ago. Caleb, meanwhile, has risen to be the leader of an earthly group of Satan's army, and takes his orders from demons. The twins' lives are on an apparent collision course--one headed for heaven, and the other for hell. The third book in the Flaming Sword Series, this spiritual warfare novel contains more than one hundred passages of Scripture. A Walk Through Heaven & Hell combines the power of God's Holy Word with a riveting narrative of good versus evil.

Book Synopsis To Hell and Back by : Audie Murphy

Download or read book To Hell and Back written by Audie Murphy and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2002-05-01 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic WWII memoir by America’s most decorated soldier shares a “vivid, gripping, mature picture of combat” (The New York Times Book Review). Originally published in 1949, To Hell and Back was a bestselling phenomenon and later became a major motion picture starring Audie Murphy as himself. It remains one of the most harrowing personal narratives of the Second World War and a perennial classic of military nonfiction. Rejected from both the marines and the paratroopers because he was too small, Murphy was desperate to see action and determined to serve his country. Eventually, he found a home with the infantry and fought through campaigns in Sicily, Italy, France, and Germany. Although still under twenty-one years old on V-E Day, he was credited with having killed, captured, or wounded 240 Germans. He emerged from the war as America’s most decorated soldier, having received twenty-one medals, including our highest military decoration, the Congressional Medal of Honor.
