The Rich Man

This is a fiction story about a real place. It is a story created from the teachings of Jesus of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31. I base the book on His statement: "The rich man died… In Hades, where he was in torment." Jesus spoke about an actual place, and this story seeks to provide a realistic understanding of this place of suffering.

Have you ever wondered what it is like in hell? Jesus speaks about a rich man who went to hell, and in that concise account, he gave us descriptive information about hell. James Olah takes teachings and words from the Luke 16 passage and other Bible passages to describe what one will experience in hell in this first-person narrative. God gave us descriptive words and teachings to help us understand what hell is like, and it takes some unpacking to bring it together to gain a fuller picture of this place.
