Hell Empty, Heaven Full: Stirring Compassion for the Lost

by Reinhard Bonnke

Overview

Every day, millions of people who don’t know Jesus Christ as their Savior move farther down the dark road to destruction. But as international evangelist Reinhard Bonnke says, hell was never designed for people, and heaven is expecting them! Tens of millions of people have come to know Christ through Reinhard's ministry. In this book, he shares his contagious passion for bringing the gospel to the lost.
 
Each chapter in Hell Empty, Heaven Full discusses biblical stories that highlight how God’s priority is saving people and how He wants us to join Him in that process. As Reinhard says, “Our calling is to put a kind hand on the shoulder of the world and turn it round to see God. It will adore Him. The Lord is the Savior.… He loves because to love gives Him joy. He loves beyond all the parameters of human affection and makes even the assault of the cross an expression of His love. His pain asserts it. He finds satisfaction in giving, pouring Himself out to us, surrounding us with wonders, making His redeemed the garden of delight in which He walks. To proclaim the gospel is to move for Him, act with Him, love in Him, and delight in His joy as the privilege, meaning and purpose of all life.”

Filled with vivid illustrations, this book is designed to show you how to reach the lost as Jesus did: with the passion and compassion of the heavenly Father.

About the Author

Reinhard Bonnke (1940–2019) was principally known for his Great Gospel Crusades throughout Africa. The son of a German pastor, Reinhard surrendered his life to Christ at age nine and heard the call to the African mission field before he was a teenager. He attended Bible college in Wales and was ordained in Germany where he and his wife, Anni, pastored a small church until 1967 when, in obedience to Reinhard’s childhood call, they embarked on missionary life in Africa in the small mountain kingdom of Lesotho. When, in 1974, the Holy Spirit spoke to Reinhard in a recurring dream about “a blood-washed Africa,” he founded Christ for All Nations, becoming the inspiring visionary who always spoke of “plundering hell to populate heaven,” a dedicated preacher who saw “signs following” as the necessary evidence of the power of the gospel to save, heal, and deliver. To date, Christ for All Nations has recorded more than eighty-two million documented decisions for Jesus Christ. Reinhard also authored numerous books, including Raised from the Dead, Daily Fire Devotional, Faith: The Link with God’s Power, and Hell Empty, Heaven Full. In addition, he spent several years developing the Full Flame Film Series, eight inspirational films aimed at inspiring and challenging the church to Holy Spirit evangelism.

Editorial Reviews

God will do amazing things through anyone who is willing to sincerely believe His Word. Reinhard Bonnke is a tremendous man of God who, through his book Even Greater Faith, will ignite a passion to accomplish “even greater” things for God than can be imagined.
—Joyce Meyer
Best-selling author and Bible teacher
 


Raised from the Dead reads like a summer blockbuster movie, but it’s all true. You’ll be amazed at what God can do through an obedient man under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. I heartily endorse both the man and his message.
—Bill Johnson
Senior Pastor, Bethel Church, Redding, California
 

Perhaps no other evangelist has advanced the cause of the gospel as effectively as Reinhard Bonnke has. His crusades throughout Africa have had a legendary impact on the kingdom. In Raised from the Dead, Pastor Bonnke shares how one incredible miracle served as a sign from God that he should bring his extraordinary message of salvation to America. Read it, and prepare to be amazed at what God can do!
