Men Who Bring Life and Not Harm: An Interview with Morgan Snyder   Throughout history, why is the story of many men's lives the theme of being entrusted with power and then using that power to bring harm to themselves and those under their care? What is the biblical way for men to responsibly be in lockstep with God's kingdom? What is the path of inner transformation that God intends every man to experience? Bible Gateway interviewed Morgan Snyder about his book, Becoming a King: The Path to Restoring the Heart of a Man (W Publishing Group, 2020).

What does the Bible tell us about it, and what is speculation, myth, or even plain error? Is Hell a place or a state of being? What does Hell look like? What kind of suffering do people in Hell experience? What are the devil and demons really like? Bible Gateway interviewed Anthony DeStefano about his book, Hell: A Guide (Thomas Nelson, 2020).
