 I am a H-U-G-E Rob Bell fan.... November 11, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I need to to prelude this with the following: I think Rob Bell is on fire! I love his messages - I can't wait until Tuesday to download them and I hope to one day make the "pilgrimage" to Mars Hill to see his church in person.
Now with that said, the book, well....eh. It's ok. Rob has passions and knowledge as evident by his word studies, but the book is scattered and to be honest, hard to keep focused on. THe book is written with sometimes one word per line and if you are a fast reader, you will find yourself constantly flipping pages as there are only 20 or so lines per page. This book could have been slimmed down to a thick pamphlet.
But the message is relevant and perhaps I am the wrong audiance he writes to.
letdown after Sex God October 28, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
While I enjoyed this book and enjoy almost anything written by Rob Bell, I have to admit that I was a little disappointed by this book. I have read Rob's second book, Sex God, many times. It is full of underlines and notes and I can honestly say that it made a huge impact in how I live my life as a follower of Christ. While Jesus Wants to Save Christians was a good book and enjoyable, it did not leave me with the huge impact that Sex God did. Still worth the read though.
 Rob is my Rabbi October 24, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Rob had a way of getting you involved in the story of the scriptures and it feels like your there and he does this in the book, he makes you think and think about things that you might not think about otherwise. Its hard for a man near 30 (me) to learn to question because as a society we tell kids to know facts and not understand whats going on behind the story and definetely dont ask questions and wrestle with issues. I loved the book and I loved the questions this book raised.
Theology Aside October 24, 2008
19 out of 20 found this review helpful
I finished this book last night, and I continue to hold to my stance that even if you do not totally agree with Rob Bell's theology he always brings up some very good points that are worth think about and discussing. This book is a collaborative work of Rob Bell Teaching Pastor of Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids and the former Lead Pastor of said church Dan Golden on the current exile of the Church in America.
The point and ideas that Rob and Dan make in this book are clear and simple enough that I do not want to ruin it with a shoddy summary but I do encourage you to read this book. Bell is known to sometimes make links and correlations between New and Old Testament that are sometimes thin at best. And there are a few of those, also in one biblical reference he confuses Philip the Evangelist with the Apostle Philip, but small little things like this do not take away from the fact that Rob Bell & Dan Golden bring forth some very interesting ideas that can really make you reevaluate what you think your position in the world is.
There are people who love everything Rob Bell writes or speaks about, they will enjoy this book. There are people who hate everything thing Rob Bell writes or speaks about, they will dislike the book and probably find hundred's of things wrong with it. Then, there are those of us to listen to Bell, and agree with him on some things and disagree with him on others. I get the feeling that is the kind of reader or listener he enjoys the most. Bell & Golden don't ever claim to have everything right, but they do want to ask questions and encourage people to think and do. If you read this book with an open and without preconceived notions this book should deliver that for you.
A Strong Summary of Majory Themes of the Biblical Story October 20, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Rob Bell's latest, Jesus Wants to Save Christians, dives into the great story of the Christian faith. Beginning with the Exodus all the way through Revelation Bell and co-author Don Golden show how God has consistently been at working hearing the voices of those who cry out, bringing rescue to those in exile, and preparing all of humanity for the entrance of his Son.
The book is packed with historical and cultural information that opens up the Biblical story and puts it in context. I think it might be Rob's strongest book yet, though they have all been amazing. It's definitely worth picking up and experiencing.
