Love Wins by Rob Bell

Love Wins

by Rob Bell

Bestselling author Rob Bell offers a provocative book which gets to the heart of questions about life and death. His perspective, encapsulated by his famous slogan 'love wins', will surprise and challenge both Christians and atheists, and will inspire people of all faiths and none.

A recent Gallup survey showed that over half of British people believe in heaven. But what is it? Who is it for? Why does it matter? And how do we know if we're going there?

Rob Bell believes that even the most fervent Christians and the most committed atheists, are still not satisfied with their traditional answers to these questions. Out of respect for their traditions they keep quiet, confiding to a few close, safe friends their doubts and questions about why they are here and where they are going.

For many years, on sermons and DVDs and on bumper stickers and t-shirts, bestselling Chrisian author Rob Bell has been saying that 'Love Wins'. But 'Love Wins' is much more than a pithy slogan.

'Love Wins' is a philosophy drawn out from deep within religious tradition and writings. It provides answers to the deepest and most difficult questions about life and faith, and about heaven and hell. And it is a call to arms for all of us to live a more meaningful life.

I remember when this book came out, and people were so angry about it! I finally picked it up and wish it had been around when I was a teen. It would have saved me a lot of grief and anxiety. Bell's fresh perspective challenges verses used to rule by fear, and reinforces that God is steadfast, great, and ALWAYS loving. (I enjoyed the casual tone of the audiobook, although sometimes he'd get on a roll and speak in breathless run-on sentences.
