Synopsis

Almost 60 percent of those in American evangelical churches believe that many religions can lead to eternal life. But if Jesus is to be trusted when he says that no one comes to the Father except through him, the church is failing in its mission. And it's not hard to guess why. An exclusive Jesus just isn't popular in our inclusive world.

Dr. Robert Jeffress calls on Christians to recover the exclusive claims of the one they claim as Lord and Savior, not as a way to keep people out of heaven but as the only way to invite them in. He tackles questions like

- Can people be saved who have never heard of Christ?
- What about those who worship God by another name?
- Do children automatically go to Heaven when they die?

True compassion for non-Christians doesn't lie in letting them go their way while we go ours, but in sharing the only true way with them.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

An urgent call to reclaim the message of salvation

"In Not All Roads Lead to Heaven, Dr. Jeffress has given the body of Christ a great tool. The exclusivity of the Christian gospel is not just a theological issue to be debated, it is the heart and soul of the gospel."--Dr. David Jeremiah, senior pastor, Shadow Mountain Community Church; founder and president, Turning Point Ministries

"Jesus said He was the exclusive means to come to His Father for salvation and a home in heaven. Either Jesus was right or He wasn't. Robert Jeffress believes He was right. Whether you do or don't, this book deserves a serious read. It asks and answers one of the most critical questions of our time--the one that actually determines a person's eternal destiny."--Dr. Mark L. Bailey, president and senior professor of Bible exposition, Dallas Theological Seminary 

"Dr. Jeffress masterfully addresses the common arguments against biblical Christianity and equips us to engage with those who disagree with Christ's claims about Himself. Dr. Jeffress aims to help us to more clearly articulate the good news that Jesus came to save sinners because He loves them. Read this book. It's a must-read for the day in which we live."--Susie Larson, talk radio host, national speaker, and author 

"What a shock it will be someday for many people who will arrive in eternity only to discover all roads don't lead to heaven. This book will provide solid answers as to why this is so. You will learn why Jesus alone has the qualifications to be the Savior."--Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer, senior pastor, the Moody Church, Chicago

"Not All Roads Lead to Heaven will help you remember the greatest answers for believing and defending the true gospel story. I wholeheartedly recommend it to all Christians, pastors, and Bible teachers, for it will warm your heart and mind with 'the reasons for the hope that is in us.'"--Dr. Tim LaHaye, pastor, author, and Christian educator
