But why are we so concerned with what other people think, say, or look like? Does God answer prayer? Some, but not all? Sometimes, but not all the time? Or does God always answer prayer and it's just that sometimes God says no.

Could prayer be bigger than God listening and answering? Maybe we need a fresh perspective on how we approach the things in life that compel us to pray.

Many of us are running from place to place, and it seems like life is just passing us by. We often focus on the masculine character of God. But when we omit the feminine, are we missing a very fundamental part of his nature?

Maybe understanding a bit more about the feminine would help us to have a more complete image of God. Most of us grew up believing that our worth, our value, our acceptance comes from how good we are. How smart, how competent, how fast and better and skilled. I am pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed 'Love Wins'. I've never been a Rob Bell fan, having started but never finished 'Velvet Elvis' and 'Sex God', but this book is worth picking up and wrestling with.

For that reason — the value of wrestling with its topics — it will stand as one of the more important popular books of the decade.

It isn't very deep. It isn't very broad. But it asks excellent questions and it has reached a large audience with those questions. After having just read C. May 31, David A. I was sympathetic, but I was skeptical, when I first heard of Love Wins, a hipster treatise on Jesus and human destiny. I've appreciated Rob Bell the several times I've seen him speak; I liked his cadence and his rhythm and his horn rims and color scheme, but I also liked his way of thinking about the Bible.

As evangelical as he is--he was raised in Michigan and educated at Wheaton College, for pete's sake--he manages to step back from evangelical subcultural ways of seeing and find a new angle Before this book came out, people were often confused why I disliked Rob Bell. He was too ephemeral, played too loose with 2nd Century Jewish tradition — reading it back onto the 1st Century, before the destruction of the Temple. He seemed to be a good public speaker, though, and whenever I sat through his sermons utterly unmoved, my Christian friends admonished me for my heart of stone.

After the book came out, it seemed I had suddenly joined some sort of cabal that was eager to stamp out anythi Bell wants more out of this book than he gives. He is right: Evangelical, Fundamentalist Christianity has its problems. That's also a bit odd, because I didn't find that much of what he wrote to be uber-unorthodox, heretical, or controversial. He makes the point that Christianity I both understand and fail to understand why this book stirred up so much controversy.

I fail to understand it, in that it seems to be a reasonable reading of Scripture based on Hebrew culture and teachings, on how the rabbis taught by asking questions, on how Jesus himself taught by asking questions, and I agree wholeheartedly with the backbone of the book, which is that God's unfailing love is bigger than we can imagine and is waiting for everyone who will turn to it.

I still enjoy listening to Rob Bell read the audiobook more than I enjoy reading his books. And I still want to dig deeper into the theological issues raised here. Controversial book?

Nah… New stuff? Old Stuff? As Bell starts the book and explains Heaven nothing new if you read N. However, what is new, is Bell talking about Hell as a place for correction, not for damnation, but instead for a chance for redemption. Believing that in the end God's love wins because God's love is stronger than any other thing in the universe, Bell believes tha Compelling argument about literal vs. Chapter 7 is gold. Quick read and great as an audiobook. I was surprised by the fact that within the first page and a half Bell wrote that he feels the belief that a I've been sitting here trying to come up with some witty way to describe what I thought of this book.
