The story of Lucifer's fall from heaven is well known. His wicked nature is legendary, surviving for many years, yet as all conflicts go there are two sides. These opposing sides each with their own reasons and justifications. Knowing only part of the story is worthless. The Keys of Death and Hades is the first book in the Epic of Lucifer.

The final book of the Bible, Revelation prophesies the ultimate judgement of mankind in a series of allegorical visions, grisly images and numerological predictions. According to these, empires will fall, the "Beast" will be destroyed and Christ will rule a new Jerusalem. With an introduction by Will Self.

There has been a lack of serious historical investigation of the famous creedal statement 'Christ descended into hell' that was universally affirmed by the church for the first 1500 years of Church history. This unique book is an in-depth investigation of the history of the doctrine of Christ's descent and how Revelation 1:18 alludes to that significant doctrine. The author demonstrates a real passion and a rigorous argument for Christ's triumphal descent into the underworld in order that he would 'fill all things' (Eph 4:10).

Charles Tidwell was clinically dead for twenty minutes after suffering a cardiac arrest. During this time, his spirit and soul departed his physical body and were taken to Hell. He witnessed demons standing at his feet and heard them planning his torture, while lying on a cold slab in a very dark chamber of Hell. Before the demons could carry out their torment, the key holder of death and Hell entered the chamber and unlocked the door of both death and Hell. He then carried the spirit and soul of Charles out of Hell and returned them to his physical body in order to live again. Since this encounter, demons have attacked and harassed him to this very day. Angels have protected and guided him throughout his lifetime, sometimes through visions and God-sent dreams. All these encounters and more are described in detail in the book. The book also reveals the following: What it feels like to die. How it feels when your spirit and soul leave your body. What the demons in Hell looked like. How death entered the world. Why Hell has different compartments. Why Lucifer was thrown from Heaven to Earth. How demons operate in the physical world. What happens in the immediate afterlife? What happens in the eternal afterlife? How a resurrected body is designed. Charles Tidwell has studied scriptures about death and the afterlife for twenty years. He has lived through three cardiac arrests plus two additional heart attacks. He has given testimonies in several churches in Louisiana on the subject of death and Hell. Charles was in the automobile business for 30 years, owning a Chevrolet dealership and several pre-owned car dealerships. He and his wife Christy were raised in Louisiana but now reside in Texas.

Christianity Today Book Award The Gospel Coalition Book Award "I believe he descended to the dead." The descent of Jesus Christ to the dead has been a fundamental tenet of the Christian faith, as indicated by its inclusion in both the Apostles' and Athanasian Creeds. Falling between remembrance of Christ's death on Good Friday and of his resurrection on Easter Sunday, this affirmation has been a cause for Christian worship and reflection on Holy Saturday through the centuries. At the same time, the descent has been the subject of suspicion and scrutiny, perhaps especially from evangelicals, some of whom do not find support for it within Scripture and have even called for it to be excised from the creeds. Against this conflicted landscape, Matthew Emerson offers an exploration of the biblical, historical, theological, and practical implications of the descent. Led by the mystery and wonder of Holy Saturday, he encourages those who profess faith in Christ to consider the whole work of our Savior.
