I'm not telling you what to believe. I'm not even sure what I think about it. And honestly, I don't think it's a heaven or hell issue.

Which is why I really didn't have a problem with the author portraying God as a woman in this book
Scripture uses the male pronoun in referring to God and Jesus was male. Trinitarians who use the female pronoun, and call God "mother" are running into problems with the authority of scripture. It's also affected church membership, as many who call God mother are seeing huge drops in their attendance, which affects tithes and a whole host of other things.
