Book Review: How Good is Good Enough

Preacher Andy Stanley wrote a short book to help people interested in eternal life evaluate the theories of, "good people go to heaven." He presents that everyone kind of thinks they are good enough and that others aren't (a relative point of view) and that a good God would give some standard to determine what was good enough, if that was the method he would use to allow people into heaven. Both arguments fall apart logically and Stanley offers a third alternative, "God isn't fair, he's merciful and gracious." If God were fair, we'd go to hell. Thanks be to God he does forgive.
