Synopsis
Does hell matter? Pastor Brian Jones wants readers to know the truth. Jones believes that the reason most Christians don’t tell their friends about Jesus has nothing to do with not knowing how—it’s because they don’t think they need to.

Today, he shares his story of discovering the truth that hell exists—and why many Christians are afraid to believe in it.
