Check it out: Rob Bell's book, "Jesus wants to save Christians: A manifesto for the church in exile.
1. I LOVE the way he writes
2. He is connecting our ancient history as a people to our current reality, and it's a total fit!
3. He speaks truth and does so in a clear but non-confrontational and unapologetic way (I need to learn this!) way
4. His use of the scriptures and history is holistic and accurate and meaningful: that packs a real punch, amen?
5. His approach to our current hyper-religious pseudo/faux patriotism is right on target.
Have you ever read a book that so explains what you've been pondering and convinced of that it just makes you sigh from relief? I feel like my thoughts are on these pages, but far better than I could I have ever written them!
Thanks Rob Bell...this one is sticking with me like ...well I don't totally have the best comparison, but it's sticking with me!
