Velvet Elvis

I am on the last few pages of Rob Bell's new book: Velvet Elvis, Repainting the Christian Faith.
Rob is the pastor of a church called Mars Hill in Grand Rapids, Mich. I will have read the book in two days and it took me from my present reading of The Lord of the Rings which is quite an accomplishment. I really enjoyed the book and to use an overly cliche phrase but still true it was..."fresh". Possibly a bit controversial for some but refreshingly honest and real. He shares his thoughts about certain teachings in the bible and the church and provides some alternative ways of looking at them. Two thumbs up!
