I didn't know anything about Rob Bell before I read this book, but now I can say I have a deep appreciation for His insight. Although, I do not agree with everything he says - I value much more than I distain.I think this book covers so many worthwhile points, but his perspective on missional living really stuck with me. He brings a fresh perspective on subjects that have been preached into the ground. One thing I really love about His writing is that due to his background of Jewish culture he has so much insight into the scripture I had never heard before.I would highly recommend this book. For anyone feeling discontent with christianity - this book will bring much encouragement.
