Our local newspaper ran a front-page story not too long ago about a study revealing that one in five people in our city lives in poverty. This is a book about those two numbers. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good read, eye opening. "When you give unconditionally, you will be reminded of the God who gives unconditionally. When you extend grace to others in their oppression, you are reminded of the grace extended to you in yours. The Eucharist is the firstborn, the church leading the way in exodus. Every time we take part in the Eucharist, we're reminded that we were each slaves and God rescued us. The church must cling to her memory of the exodus, because if that memory is forgotten, the church may forget the poor, ...

According to Rob Bell, He certainly wouldn't appreciate America as a growing global power, dominating the world with it's power and might. He brings us back to the Jesus of the Bible to re-think our lives today. There is another beautiful new book about Jesus entitled "The Enlightenment, What God Told Me After One Million Prayers: A Message ...

Rob Bell is definitely an artist who uses words and paper as his medium. The "book" has one major flaw - it's much more of a pamphlet or series of blog posts than a book. It can be read in about an hour or two, which makes one frustrated with spending $19.99. My recommendation would be to spend a quarter of the cost purchasing a large latte at the bookstore to sip on while ...

Are we to simply assume that the have-nots are in their predicament because they did not work hard enough, did not tithe, or are not good stewards of their income, or is there a better and more God's-kingdom oriented way? These are the questions that Rob Bell tackles in this great book. I think this book serves as a great read along with books like Brian McLaren's ... Read More Rating: - Title Far Better Than The Contents!Most of the book is an overview of the Bible, building on the East as a building block throughout the book. Only to the end of the book is there really a challenge to the modern church, and it's mostly for the American church. Read Jesus and the rest of the NT instead!
