What in Hell is Happening?: A different perspective of hell's torment (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781517270971)

James Olah is a retired pastor after serving for 39 years in ministry. He started as a youth pastor in Lapeer, Michigan and after that served two pastorates. The first Church was in Port Huron, Michigan and the other in Davison, Michigan. Besides his Bible teaching ministry, each church offered him the opportunity to engage in outreach ministries to help develop his gifts and abilities to broaden his experiences in life. In the late 80's he was involved with a group of men concerned for the country of Myanmar (Burma). They had the opportunity to publish a Bible in the Falam Chin language, and to start a seminary. In 1998 he traveled with other board members from the mission to work on the Bible Project and teach in the seminary. He was also on the founding board for Michigan Theological Seminary which is now Moody Theological Seminary in Plymouth, Michigan. One of his joys through the years has been to teach a version of "Walk thru the Old Testament." For eight years he was a panel member for a live TV call-in program called Ask the Pastor. One of the areas of ministry that had a profound effect on his life was teaching and training in the Coral Ridge Evangelism program when he was a youth pastor. This gave him a good grasp of the gospel and a desire to make the gospel and the various aspects of it clear to people. To present the gospel well one has to know what is taught about judgment day, heaven and hell as well as man's condition and God's provision. He does not see the teaching of hell as a scare tactic for sharing the gospel, but a necessary truth one must face if they want to clearly see their need to be reconciled with God. James grew up in the Muskegon, Michigan area and currently lives in the Lansing, Michigan area. He has two children. One lives in Michigan and the other in Colorado. His wife died of cancer in 2012, just four months after his retirement. This is the fourth book in the Christian Faith Series, and the eleventh book he's written.
