David Bell spent much of his childhood helping on the family farm. After graduating he earned his living in various IT positions and has now been retired for over fifteen years. He has devoted much of his retirement to an investigation of how the afterlife has been envisioned and theodicy (the problem of evil). He was raised in a Christian family and has attended churches of many denominations. He no longer attends a church but enjoys the company of others in local clubs and societies. David's second wife died of pancreatic cancer. He has three children, two step-children and, so far, five grandchildren. Dave Griffiths is a musician by night and a Children and Families Minister in his local parish by day. He has released several critically acclaimed albums with his bands Bosh, Chaos Curb and Held by Trees, as well as solo work. He graduated from Moorlands College with a BA in Applied Theology and lives with his wife, Jess, and their three kids, two cats and one dog in Dorset, England.
In hopeful anticipation I often ponder over the details of how the Godhead will eventually reconcile and restore every soul to themselves without coercion. The books A Christmas Carol, The Shack, and now Hope For Everyone have given me plenty of rich, enjoyable and uplifting imaginings in that regard. Hannah Moss This is a must read. I enjoyed it so much - I learned so much as I read this book that I want to re-open the book of Revelation with what I have learned through this thought-provoking novel. Santo Calarco
