I did like the book, Penni - the fascinating thing to me was how much it reminded me of Papa Benedict's Deus Caritas Est (if you can compare Bell and Benedict).
People keep telling me how much I'd love Rob Bell, and I keep ignoring them hoping my book addiction will go away if I stay away from good authors. Is this an effective strategy?
That's on my reading list as well, but it's maybe too far down my queue, so to speak.
If you're going to be discussing it, maybe I'll jump it up a few notches.
I think I'm going to start attending Mars Hill. Went last Sunday, and it was good, and I figure after about a five year absence from church, it's probably high time I started going again.
Goodness, True - get yourself together! ;) And your book strategy is sweet. Cold turkey, I say.
Dan, that's excellent. Before I was Catholic, one of the reasons I thought Grand Rapids would be a nice place to live was Mars Hill. It sounds as if there are some good things happening there.

Rats, I just posted under my husband's account again. Sorry, Scott.

I'm looking forward to your thoughts.

Confession: I fell off the wagon immediatley. I ordered the Velvet Elvis or whatever soon after I posted. It's hopeless.
