How To Be Here

by Rob Bell

[wcs53]

This book had been on my TBR ever since it came out last year, but for some reason or other I never got around to it. I wish I had, because it's a very compelling book. At first I wanted to read it quickly, but I had to slow down, because there was so much to take in. I like the conversation-like style that Rob Bell always writes in and it's hard to read any of his books without hearing his voice as you read.

In this book he gives encouragement to people to live their dreams, not to get caught doing things you don't enjoy just for the money and talks a lot about the importance of being present in the moment. He shares a lot of his own personal stories, which really adds to what he is saying. Without giving much away, I'd just encourage you to read it for yourself. It's one of those books that probably needs to be read more than once, because there is so much to take in in just one reading.
