What In Hell Is Going On?

What In Hell Is Going On is a creative, biblical, and practical guide to spiritual warfare. Dave Hail’s first-person style draws readers into how the enemy works to distract Christians from Jesus, reminiscent of The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. I especially appreciated the extensive Scripture references and practical strategies for resisting temptation and spiritual attack. This book is valuable for both new and mature believers and also a great resource for small group discipleship.

Reading What in Hell Is Going On? brought to mind the brilliance and boldness of C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters—a timeless work that exposed the schemes of the enemy through wit, insight, and spiritual clarity. Like Lewis, Dave Hail steps into the shadows to shine the light of truth. But this is no imitation—it is a fresh, urgent, and Spirit-breathed warning to the Body of Christ in these perilous times. With pastoral care and prophetic urgency, Dave peels back the curtain to reveal how hell conspires against heaven’s purposes in our lives. His writing is raw yet redemptive, bold yet biblical. One line that struck me deeply was: “The enemy is not afraid of our churches—he’s afraid of our obedience.” This is not just a book—it’s a wake-up call to the sleeping Church and a battle plan for the faithful. It reminds us that spiritual warfare is not poetic metaphor but a present reality. The devil is not a myth, and passivity is not an option. Paul’s charge to the Ephesians echoes powerfully here: “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” —Ephesians 6:11 (NIV) My prayer is that every believer who turns these pages will be stirred—not only to awareness but to action. May your discernment be sharpened, your courage renewed, and your spirit empowered to live in victory. Dave Hail has given the Church a gift—not of fear, but of clarity and conviction. With gratitude for this faithful voice,

UNMASK THE DEVIL’S TACTICS THROUGH THIS DYNAMIC BOOK! “WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON?” lays out the strategy that the enemy uses to undermine Christians in a clear, understandable format. Through the clever use of a narrative story, the authors reveal that the devil has a daily “Boardroom Meeting” that generates plans to keep you “ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of the Lord” (2 Peter 1:8). The whole book uncovers what I call Satan's “Three Ds”: “Deception” for the truth, “Distraction” from the truth, and “Distortion” of the truth. Every part of the devil’s plan is exposed: lust, greed, dysfunctional families, confusion, guilt, rebellion–it’s all there!  Thus, each chapter is a “Call to Arms” to understand the enemy’s plan, stand against and know HOW to fight him. This is an excellent book for your personal devotions but get it IMMEDIATELY into the hands of your youth pastor, small group leader, or head of your men’s ministry. It is a battle-winning persuasive read!

I believe Dave’s new book will help open the eyes of people's understanding of how hell itself works, as he offers the reader a perspective of the forces that daily play against God’s people to cause them to stumble and fall away. Through his descriptive writing, Dave shows that the enemy does not sound a horn of corruption but whispers the doubt to corrode the foundations of truth. The enemy's plan is to confuse and strip away the truths of God’s Word and love for His people, but God is always at work with His own plans to prosper and bring His people to victory.

--Dr. Richard Roberts Evangelist, Author, Teacher and host of the International television program, The Place for Miracles

It is rare, in this day and age for a book to speak so clearly to the buffeting taking place upon believers.  Without being a heavy read, What in Hell is Going On shares a clear picture of the Tools of Darkness that trip us up.

Dave Hail is a vibrant voice of history to our walk as people of the Kingdom.  It is with my highest recommendation that you read this book, consume its truth and ponder the impact of the realms all about us that are working against us.

It will most definitely open your eyes more widely for our constant need of intimate fellowship with God Almighty.

We were promised that we would have tribulations in this life. What in Hell is Going On exposes the roadmap they are using.

This book is not for the faint of heart, but for those willing to open their eyes and engage with truth. It challenges the status quo, exposes the schemes of the enemy, and reminds the Church of its urgent mission in these last days. Every believer who wants to understand the battle behind the chaos should read this book.”
