A Great Mental and Spiritual challenge

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.

very encouraging

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.

awesome
