The jnformation in here is very much needed, but the tone is really bad and I found a bit repulsive. I got the feeling that the author looks down on most people and was a bit too ghoulish with hell. I believe in hell, which is why I’m reading this book. But wallowing in visions of your kid in hell isn’t really helpful. I don’t have a lot of time, so I rather he just get to the point of what I can do as a new parent who was raised outside the faith. The world is already pretty bad and people just need a bit of hope for their kids in a world full of discouragement. I don’t want him to lie and deny he’ll, but just have a bit more hope.
He is really hard-core about following the rules so much that I wonder how he can possibly believe that his unbaptised miscarriages are not hell. I lost a baby to miscarriage and its hard not knowing their fate. I hate it when people lie about hell not existing but I struggle with God being a tyrant and just throwing it to hell with no chance. I am a bit worried that his hard zeal leads his kids to lie about their faith. I like zeal, but his zeal isn’t a good mix for the melancholy types. His zeal seems to have a bit too much sadism in it for my taste.
