We know there?s something more. We sense it, we feel it, we know it. And we want it. We want an authentic spirituality.

The Velvet Elvis

Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith (Cover Image May Vary)This was a outstanding book for those of us who find out faith of our childhood, now doesnt really serve us in our adulthood. The body of Christ is addressed in a fresh way . This book allows us the ability to question those deeper parts of our faith. THese issues are NOT addressed here in the bible belt.

Deep, Thoughtful, and Very Refreshing

Rob Bell presents a view of Christ that anyone would be attracted to. His explanation of contemporary Jewish customs and beliefs adds clarity to much of what Jesus said and did. The book challenges your thinking and asks Christians if they are following Christ because they are convinced that it is the best way to live.

Bell gives a fresh take on many key Biblical stories and doctrines, such as Jesus as "Rabbi," bringing Heaven (or Hell) to Earth by our lives, the value of Christian community in collectively interpreting Scripture (which he calls binding and loosing), etc. A very good read. You will learn a lot, think a lot, and be a better Christian after reading this book.

this was a very interesting book. i personally really enjoyed reading this book. it made me think a lot about my faith and my persectives on many things. this is definitely a book to wrestle with but in the end, i think it will strengthen your faith, no matter where you are spiritually. i am really glad i purchased this book. its a book you can read many times and get something different from it every time

Almost a present-day C.S. Lewis

Bell presents the heart of Christianity - the love of Christ and our call to walk in the dust of our Rabbi. A thoughtful, appealing book that makes a great gift to someone searching for Christ's love. A great opening for a discussion about Christ.
