This book basically wrote about the challenging that Christian are now days facing, sometimes even when people tends to do the right things as a christian, we could still make mistakes, by not knowing so, and going through the book he explains the difficulties that we are walking through today, and trying to answer them in his own logic, well I must say he make good points,and explained everything very detail, it is definitely a book worth reading.

Rob Bell is a really really effective writer. I disagree with some of his theology, but basically everything apart from Love Wins I believe most evangelicals would like. That may be saying too much--at least what was presented in this little tester book. He's a wonderful storyteller. I'll be checking out some more of his works.

A good place to sample some of Bell's stuff; however, if you were to simply start with one of his books and read it through to completion you will have done better than to just get an all-too-brief look at a few things.
