Hell and Back - The First Death
Do people who commit suicide go to hell?
That’s the question Joe Rellik has been asking himself for years and he’s convinced they do. His daughter killed herself. He didn’t even know she was upset. If he’d been around maybe things would’ve been different. Ever since that day it’s all he’s thought about.
His memory of her was sweet and lovely, but while he was fighting deep in the jungles of Vietnam, she did it. He’s been a warrior all his long life—it’s the only thing he was ever any good at. Now old age is promising to do what his enemies couldn’t. It will all be over soon, but he is haunted by the one rescue he can’t pull off.
Bad dreams…if he could just stay awake. Tormenting visions of her…lost…in that place…tortured, forgotten, discarded, and destroyed. His love for her is eating him from the inside out. He can’t leave her like that, all alone. He might be the only man in the world who actually wants to go to hell. His madness is driving him to think the unthinkable, but will he actually do it? Will he pull the trigger and send himself to hell, for her?
Hell and Back is a supernatural thriller ripped from the last pages of the Bible. God and the devil, angels and demons...they all get a chance to influence Joe as he charges into his last great battle, the battle for all things that truly matter. Joe knows it may cost him his very own soul.
This dazzling page turner will keep you guessing and make you wonder what really happens after the funeral.

I read this book about a year ago and the imagery in the book is still with me today. The descriptions of heaven and hell are written in such a thoughtful way that the reader is literally taken there. A very good and engaging book. Get it.
