The Book
Setting all captives free
Open Gates walks through Scripture's widest promises — that the gates of hell will not prevail against the purpose of God, that every captive will be released, and that what was lost will be restored in full. It is a biblical case for universal salvation and universal reconciliation, written for anyone who has ever wondered whether God's love reaches all the way down.
- A verse-by-verse case for universal salvation — that God's will to save is never finally frustrated
- The restoration of creation traced through the prophets, the Gospels and the epistles
- Honest answers to the hardest objections, including the language of judgment
- Daily readings for personal devotion and small-group study
