CloseThe StoryMen sit down with friend and pastor Josh Butler to examine the Skeletons in God's Closet. In his new book, Josh investigates those doctrines Christians find embarassing, shameful or just plain scary. He's convinced that the doctrines of Hell, Judgment and Holy War are actually good news, that they affirm God's love for us. We dive deep into his take on Hell, and giveaway a free copy of the book!
