Heaven Hacked
An audit of the competing Christian paths to eternity
One question, asked of every tradition in the book:
Is eternal life a free gift, received by believing in Jesus and then kept safe by Him, or is it something you have to keep up, prove, or finish?
Churches answer that question very differently, and most people never hear the answers set side by side. This book sets them side by side.
What the book does
It walks through the major Christian traditions one at a time, lets each one state its own position on how a person is saved and kept, and then measures that position against the plain promises of Scripture: that the gift is free, received by faith alone in Christ alone, and secure once it is received.
It is written for the person who has sat in a pew feeling uneasy, wondering whether they have done enough, and who wants to see clearly what their church actually teaches and what the Bible actually says.
- The hard passages, faced head on. James 2, Hebrews 6, Matthew 7, and the other verses people are told should worry them.
- Eternal security, and why assurance is not arrogance.
- Faith alone, and what it does and does not mean for how a Christian lives.
- The traditions themselves, described as they describe themselves, not as caricatures.

How this book was written
Plainly, because it matters. Richard set the questions, the standard, and the shape of the book, and wrote its Introduction. The chapters themselves were drafted with AI assistance and then reviewed and revised by him line by line against Scripture and against the Free Grace position he holds.
The United States Copyright Office registration for the book reflects exactly that: it covers his Introduction and his selection and arrangement of the material, with the AI drafted text excluded. He would rather tell you that up front than have you find it out later.
