Velvet Elvis (by Rob Bell) - a book about faith and what it looks like, and the fact that it includes questioning. I really like Rob Bell and the thoughts he has. He's the guy behind this, and that's where I first heard about him.
I haven't read a whole lot of this book yet, but I can tell that I already like it. Here's a quote for you. Enjoy.
Questions, no matter how shocking or blasphemous or arrogant or ignorant or raw, are rooted in humility. A humility that understands that I am not God. And there is more to know.
Questions bring freedom. Freedom that I don't have to be God and I don't have to pretend that I have it all figured out. I can let God be God.
-Rob Bell
Hi, Tara... How cool that you are reading Velvet Elvis -- lots of food for thought in that book!! I read it (two times) and loved it!! And, also wanted to let you know that my Sunday School class has a full set of the NOOMA videos if you would like to borrow any of them in the next couple of weeks while you are home... Just let me know -- I'll be glad to send them to you... Which ones have you seen and which is your favorite??
ReplyDeleteI'm also going to send you a copy (via your dad) of a book that I read recently and highly recommend. You can let me know what you think... See ya!!
