THE PRIMROSE PATH TO HELL

Book Cover & Preview Text
Before beginning this l:::xx>k, I need to ask the reader two simple questions. Do you believe in the existence of God, and do you accept the concept of a Heaven and a Hell? If the answer to either of these is no, then perhaps there are other writings which you should first consider. To convince you of a Supreme Being or the reality of an afterlife, is beyond the scope of this treatise. Rather, for many years my deep concern has been for the many thousands of individuals who do believe in God and in Christ, and have been convinced either by pulpit homily or certain Scriptures, that their ticket to Heaven is valid, and totally irrevocable. I am deathly afraid that many who present these tickets at the "strait gate" which "few will enter," will be denied passage. As a fellow "believer" I invite you to join me on the following pages, and together perhaps we will discover, also through the Scriptures, just how this tragedy is occurring, and what the Christian must do to avoid the primrose p:tth to Hell

About the Book
Extensive travels to gather material for outdoor magazine articles, has led the author and his wife Donna, both Christians, into many church services conducted by various denominations. But all too often liberal sermons implying that a “believer’s” future sins have no bearing upon their salvation, has left the author with deep concern. During these lengthy tavels, the author has encountered far too many professing Christians who seemingly give little thought as to how they live their daily lives, and are possibly heading down that primrose path to hell. This book was written in the hope that it can help each reader more honestly determine his or her true standing with Christ.
About the Author
For most of his adult life Richard Owen has written, as an avocation, articles about fly-fishing, bird hunting and clay target shooting, for a number of outdoor publications. One of these pieces, describing the youthful outdoor adventures of his two grandsons (both past National League All-Stars), won a 2008 first place award for "Best Magazine Sports Story," by the Society of Professional Journalists. After retirement from his real job, this fulfilling pastime became a full-time lifestyle, and for many years Richard and his wife Donna, have traveled extensively in search of material for these secular writings. Not only have their sports writing led them through all 50 states, but one magazine has sent them into several foreign countries to report to its readers about shot gunning opportunities in exotic settings. Along the way as born again Christians, these two nomads have attended worship services far and wide, with little concern for the denomination of the churches visited. But all too often liberal sermons have seemed, to the author, to lead to a belief that professing Christians were free to continue in deliberate sin, and still go to Heaven. And observed during his travels, this permissive message seems to have registered with many "believers", who no longer even attend church. This erroneous theology, derived from the emphasis of a few Biblical verses, has become a matter of deep concern to the author, leading to the writing of this book
