The original announcement and subsequent update were both offered in classic Francis fashion - with passion, urgency and more than a tinge of angst. This time to Hong Kong, where he and his family will spend their next season of life as missionaries.
Recently, Chan announced that he’d be relocating again. He’s been generous and kind with his time and energy over the years. As a pastor in the Bay Area, I can attest firsthand to his commitment to the local church here.
In the years since, specifically after he relocated to San Francisco in 2011, I’ve witnessed this same passion in much closer proximity. This was my introduction to Chan and like so many, I was both mesmerized and convicted by his unbridled passion. I was a youth pastor in 2008, just a handful of years into vocational ministry, when I read his first book Crazy Love. Chan and Sprinkle lay all the evidence on the table and present all the facts from Scripture, so that people can decide what to believe for themselves.Francis Chan has been a towering figure in evangelical Christianity for more than a decade now. However, the authors warn that we have to guard ourselves against “a heartlessness” when we talk about this theology and this doctrine, because ultimately this about people. They will address questions such as “Will everyone be saved?” and “Does God Get What He Wants in the End?” as well as reviewing in depth, everything Jesus said about Hell. In this groundbreaking new book, Francis Chan and Preston Sprinkle take on the topic of hell and our eternal destiny, with a sense of humility and a deep respect for the inspired Word of God. You can pre-pay for the book now from David C. The book is titled Erasing Hell: What God Said About Eternity and the Things we Made up by Francis Chan and Preston Sprinkle. Cook publisher will release what is scheduled to be the fourth book length response to Rob Bell’s Love Wins.
