Rob Bell
“I saw how the Bible isn’t a book about how to get into heaven, it’s a library of poems and letters and stories about bringing heaven to earth now, about this world becoming more and more the place it should be. There is very, very little in the Bible about what happens when you die. That’s not what the writers were focused on. Their interest, again and again, is on how this world is arranged.”
Rob Bell, Everything Is Spiritual: Finding Your Way in a Turbulent World

“God is not a question about what may or may not be up there or above or out there— God is what we’re unquestionably in.”
