About the Book
GOING TO...Helen A. Handbasket

(If you are not chuckling...please look around and make sure you're alone. Okay...Step 1: Slowly read the pseudonym out loud. If you're still not at least smiling...take a deep breath, hold it...and exhale. Repeat Step 1. Now you got it. I thank you..."Helen" thanks you.)

A revelation of Biblical proportions concerning the calculated and evil mistranslation of one Greek word in the fifth century promoting the myth (lie), of “eternal” conscious torment in Hell...woven through this intriguing tale is a memoir by a: follower of Christ, Vietnam Veteran–(fun-loving combat medic survivor), former alcoholic/drug addict, scribbling scribe, guitar player, often struggling, yet faithful servant of the Lord...and grateful recipient of His infinite Love and Grace.

What the...Hell?
 
Hell is the place where we “reap what we sow.” The author believes all the sins of the world were purchased through the Blood of Christ...the repentant know Salvation through God’s grace alone, for non-believers and the wicked, Salvation comes through the various levels of Hell: chastisement, despair, torment, terror, physical suffering...many believe, death is the final outcome. With the obvious exception of death, the author contends that eventually, the vast majority, if not all, will happily “bow the knee” before they receive the gift of Divine reconciliation. The author will prove, (like so many silenced by the Church over the centuries), that Hell is not eternal. “Eternal conscious torment,” taught by the Church since the fifth century is a lie that has destroyed the lives of millions. How could this myth be manufactured and believed by so many Christians for sixteen centuries based on something so blatantly illogical as Biblical “inerrancy?” OF COURSE Scripture is God-breathed...but to preach mistakes were not even possible by overworked scribes (that used copies, of copies, of copies), for 400 YEARS before we had substantial records, is the height of folly.
 
“The majority is always wrong; the minority is rarely right.” –Henrik Ibsen
 
The truly God-Breathed miracle isn’t the myth of absolute inerrancy, (perpetuated by many “Christians” who sadly rejoice in their exclusive salvation...made sweeter by the eternal suffering of others), it is this: through endless corrupt and nefarious motives, the Gospels, the beating heart of the Good News, remained intact. Why would “men of God,” go to such lengths to inject terrorism into Scripture? “Helen” has the answers.
 
Do we believe God...or, Satan, the author of all lies and slander?
 
Christian writer and speaker, Rick Adair, reveals how this lie came to be...his conclusions–coupled with his warm, yet madcap sense of humor–will have Christian’s, and secular folks alike, chuckling and rejoicing in the depth of God’s love...seeing clearly, perhaps for the first time, that our Father in Heaven would never even consider sending His children into “eternal” conscious torment. God is LOVE. Period.

 

Reviews
Now, Rick's brilliance shines in a new and an unexpected way. I soon realized that the warm winds of grace blew softly upon his writing which transports the reader into a new space. Overall, “GOING TO…” amalgamates an understanding of one's knowledge and experiences with special seasons of divine influence.
- Viju, Lawyer
Rick's "Going To," is a sincere distillation of his tumultuous life experiences and Godly transformation, a new genre of self-deprecating autobiography interwoven with an extensive, heartfelt Biblical translation critique in pursuit of True Godliness, that could only be written by a curious eclectic travelling the circuitous scenic route through life.
