Hell Is For Wimps is Newsboys second studio album, released in 1990. This was their first album with Star Song Communications, as their previous album Read All About It was released with Refuge Records. While it was not a commercially successful album, it saw substantially greater critical success compared with the previous album. According to Hot Hits CHR 1978–1997, the song In the End topped at #5 on the Christian rock chart, becoming the band's first track to reach the top 10 of any known chart.
The album continued the hard rock style found in "Read All About It" and the band's earlier demo cassette "He's Coming Back" (whose songs Stand Up and Victory were rerecorded and rewritten for this album). It contains the earliest known love song in the Newsboys' discography, Sea of Love.
