Intelligent June 17, 2008

This is the most intelligent book on Christianity that I can recall having read in years. The old "painting" that hung on your parents wall (the "velvet Elvis") was fashionable in its day, but now is viewed as a cliche by today's generation who would never hang that picture in their living room. The challenge for today's church is to take the never changing good news of Jesus Christ, and present it in a way that can be understood and appeal to the people of today (paint a new painting). The Christian message remains unchanged, only the art work hanging on the wall is appreciated as relevant.
 Robe Bell is a Fruit Cake June 10, 2008

To equate Bell with the Reformers is like comparing the living and the dead. Bell is a Pelagian in his understanding of sin and redemption. People will love this book who have no clue about their own depravity and of God's demands of justice. The cross of Christ is meaningless to Bell and his followers.
Just take a look at his little talk with the Dahli Lama a few ago. Luther would have had more to say, and would have taken Bell's little [...] out for a serious whipping.
Give us a break Bell. This sheep has another Master.
 A Great Mental and Spiritual challenge June 1, 2008

It's funny how something that seems to be stating the obvious can seem so new. It's also unique to have a book that so firmly kicks you out of your comfort zone, yet somehow makes the landing soft and the flight - dare I say?- fun. This book has my small group thinking and churning and I love the deer-in-headlights looks they get on their faces as they work through the material. Some ideas are easy and are savored as affirming and freeing; others are a struggle and cause discomfort, in the best sense. Bell's education, study, compassion and insight illuminate the many pitfalls we fall into as Christians. He educates, encourages, frees, challenges, and comforts the reader. The sense of humor is a great bonus:) It's a must read for anyone who doesn't want to be one of those Christians that make people stay away from church.

great book. It will challenge you... Don't just take it in whole. Dissect it.

I think Rob has a great understanding of the love, grace and mercy the Lord shows us. I felt like Rob was cheering me on to be the best 'representative' for God. It was contextualizing the Christian faith for this decade/century. Very easy read.
