On Earth as It Is in Hell

by Cortina Jackson

Clara, a single, promiscuous woman who struggles with many challenging personal issues, calls on God during one of the worst tragedies of her life. However, Clara does not get the answer she desperately seeks.

While looking at herself in the mirror, feeling at her lowest, whispers in Clara's ear from an unseen malevolent presence encourages her to give up all hope in ever having a better life...that is, unless she is willing to do the unthinkable in hopes of a brighter future.

Clara feels confused, and bewildered by all this, but soon discovers that she is not the only one being manipulated....

Three lives, struggling to find meaning and purpose, bound together with one common thread, Satan's direct order...to do On Earth As It Is In Hell.

Reviews

[Harry Whitewolf · Rating 4 out of 5]

The author of this book takes the time immemorial subject of good and evil and delivers it in an old fashioned way in a contemporary setting. Jackson's writing is at its best when she's describing typical fire and brimstone type scenarios of hell, with demons being tortured for eternity or sent to Earth to sow Satan's seed, but I would have liked to have read much more about that. Unfortunately the book's not as consistent as I would have liked and more thought could have been given to structure. That aside, I very much enjoyed this story, where the emphasis is mainly on the characters; primarily Clara, who is a good Christian striving to make choices for her soul over every day sin, and Nick, the evangelical pastor who's firmly in the service of sin and its master: Satan.
There are (sometimes graphic) tales of orgies, abuse, paedophilia, secret societies, hidden political agendas and conspiracies scattered throughout, highlighting some of the hypocrisies of the church and big business politics, and showing the devil's mastery of the world.
So, whilst on the one hand, the idea of Satan being everywhere in the material world is nothing new, the modern day conspiracy side of this story is. You only have to do a quick YouTube search to see how many believe in Satanic conspiracies these days. And when it comes to things like government paedophile groups, we're not even in the land of conspiracy; as things that once were called that are now simply indisputable facts- and Jackson bravely delivers such topics well within this novel.

Written words about the very world we live today

The words written seem to be falling into place before our very eyes. You cannot serve two masters. I was chilled reading, knowing the truth this book warned. We are seeing it everyday, we need to have eyes to see and discern. Must read
