Details: I was surprised at the diferent viewpoints I have read concerning this book. However I have learned when it comes to Hell.....well things can indeed get hot. The author to me is upfront and honest in his testimony of what happened to him. And also to me, it is not surprising that people are experiencing visions of Hell, after all, we are in the endtimes and God is doing all He can to sound the alarm. And even if we were not, no one is promised tomorrow so why take the chance of ending up in this dreadful place?
This testimony clearly shows that Hell is a place of torment, absent from God, love or any kind of goodness. It is a place of pain and suffering, sorrow and hate. I can't even imagine how difficult it was for the author to relive such an experience and I thank him for sharing it with a world that needs to hear the truth. I have seen this man on TV share his experience and believe me he is truly telling what he saw and felt and he is screaming to all that will listen, "Please, do not go there. You have a choice." Great book! Serious Warning! A read that should awaken some serious thought as to where we will spend eternity. |

Details: To Whom it may concern, I wanted to share the great impact the 23 Minutes in Hell testimony had on my son, Brian Murphy, last June 1-05.
By Divine Providence A CD arrived in the mail that afternoon with the Audio Testimony of 23 Minutes in Hell. Brian's Sister Jane decided to play it right away. Usually my prodigal son would make a quick exit, but this time he sat down with us to listen it. Brian was saved at an early age, but in his early teens he became involved with the wrong crowd & drugs, alcohol, hard rock music, etc. An overall ungodly lifestyle. For over 20 years he rebelled against God, and he was in & out of jails and hospitals. There was trouble & heartache at every turn.
We were amazed that he sat with us to hear this shocking CD. When it came time for the Salvation Prayer, Brian began to repeat the prayer, asking Jesus to come into his heart. At the end of this CD, he said very excitedly, "Mom how can I make this Public, I must make this public!" He was so intent about this that I told him he could share it in church on Sunday. Later he phoned a buddy who was still taking drugs, but he was not home. He wanted him to hear this CD also! Then he called his former Sunday School teacher & shared this all with him. He said he couldn't hardly wait till Sunday to come so he could make this Public at Church.
He went to bed with that Hope, never to realize that he would die in his sleep at age 39. Amidst our grief & shock of losing Brian so suddenly, we have that Joy of knowing he is present with the Lord! Before the funeral, our neighbor asked if she could listen to that CD. At Brian's service, she re-dedicated her life to the Lord.
This was just the beginning of how Bill Wiese's testimony "23 Minutes in Hell" is impacting lives all over the country. It has been been aired over shortwave twice, which goes all over the World. We have been continuing to give out Audio CD's as well as Mary Baxter Books on Hell & Heaven. May God Bless Bill Wiese for being obedient to the Lord & sharing this shocking vision of Hell. I pray multitudes will hear his testimony or read Bill's book on Hell, and be affected as greatly as my son Brian was, I pray this in the precious name of Jesus.

From Robert Brownell...
Every Christian must read this. Yes Jesus still reveals Himself to people, and is giving people a final warning of Hell. Of all the preaching about Hell that I've heard, finally one of first hand experience. It goes so far beyond what I though hell was like. The phrase we use "seperation from God" just doesn't do justice to the absolute terror of Hell. Once you read it, you'll have a much better understanding of why Jesus died for us. Don't believe the critics, who doubted this testimony even before they read it. The Lord has revealed to me, and to many others that this testimony is valid. I have heard many testimonies of people's lives being changed after hearing the MP3 version of this online. My best friend called me up after a year of backsliding, and repented in tears for what he did, after he heard this testimony along with Mary K. Baxter's. It will wake up the Lukewarm, it will convict the Backslidden, it will put a fear of God into those who practice wickedness, and it will motivate everyone to share that Gospel. GET THE BOOK! |

Review Summary: An Experience I Won't Soon Forget... |

Details: I consider myself a fair reader of literature, but I have yet to read a book that has had the effect on me as this one has. I was half way through it before being aware of the time. I've read several testimonies of (and about) men and women that have departed this life and found themselves in that Great Abyss called HELL and returned to tell about it. The author's experience is different in that he places the reader along side himself experiencing it as well. Needless to say, I didn't sleep very well that night. Not for myself as I'm a Christian but for all the people I come in contact with everyday who I know... haven't made Jesus as their Lord.
This book will wake up the Dead. I know because I've left it to where anybody could read it and for those that did, their reading experience was similar. A great witnessing tool.
I gave it 5 stars just for that reason. |

Review Summary: Really Puts Hell Into Perspective |

Details: This book caught my attention today while in a local bookstore. I read the first couple pages with cautiousness thinking it was likely written by someone using religon to make a quick buck. However, the further I read, I noticed the author, Bill Wiese, provided a lot of scripture backing up his experience of hell, including quotes from well-known Christian authors such as John MacArcher and Charles Stanley. Still, I thought maybe Mr. Wiese had performed an exhaustive study of the topic of hell throughout scripture and other books in order to come up with a story of his own and sell some books. My curiosity continued and after an hour and a half, I had read the entire book.
On my drive home, I decided to do a little research on the book. A quick Google search led me to a Google video at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3557441432446312669, where Mr. Wiese speaks at a local church about his experience, shedding some light on Mr. Wiese's personality. My perception from the video is that he is humble, genuine, loves his wife very much, and most importantly, feels a sense of urgency about telling people about the realities of hell. Mr. Wiese does not appear to be completely comfortable with public speaking, which also leads me to believe that his accounts in hell are true. I really do not believe he would be doing all the public speaking for his health...or his own financial gain (the video was actually taken a few years before this book was published).
Many Christians attempt to convert people to Christianity using the threat to "turn or burn", which usually results in turning people away from the Christian faith even more than they were before. I strongly believe God is using Mr. Wiese and this book to communicate this same message, but in a way that people know hell is for real, and we shouldn't wait to ask Christ into our heart until we find ouselves there.
Overall, the book is very well presented and an easy read. I am planning on purchasing several copies to give to friends and loved ones. |

Review Summary: A Horrifying Destination |

Details: As a child I saw many movies about hell and decided it was not a place I ever wanted to be in for eternity. Bill Wiese claims he not only saw images of hell, but that he experienced it physically and emotionally for 23 minutes.
Can you go to hell and live to tell about it?
Do children go to hell?
Will good people only go to heaven?
Are there demons in hell?
Is hell a real place with real fire?
Will you remember your life on earth while in hell?
Bill Wiese answers all these questions and also backs up his own experience with biblical references. His story is convincing and told from the perspective of someone who was placed in a position of extreme stress and vulnerability. He describes his 23 minutes in detail and in a very convincing manner. Dreams can be very vivid and so at the start you have to either believe this is true or decide it isn't something you are willing to believe.
In the first third of the book he explains his horrifying experience of being in hell and then in the second section he talks about near death experiences and why there is hope for anyone who wants to avoid going to hell after they die. In the third section he focuses on verses from the Bible to give a more complete view of hell.
The thoughts in this book are somewhat sobering and the idea of spending eternity in a state of emotional distress and physical pain is more than enough motivation to try to find a way not to duplicate Bill Wiese's experience. Fortunately he does provide a message of hope and explains how Jesus Christ is the answer and the Savior of the soul.
If you are interested in more on Jesus Christ, I can highly
recommend The Gospel According to Jesus
