In Love Wins, bestselling author, international teacher, and speaker Rob Bell (Velvet Elvis, Drops Like Stars) addresses one of the most controversial issues of faith—hell and the afterlife—arguing, would a loving God send people to eternal torment forever?

Rob Bell is an electrifying, unconventional pastor whom Time magazine calls "a singular rock star in the church world," with millions viewing his NOOMA videos.

With searing insight, Bell puts hell on trial with a hopeful message—eternal life doesn't start when we die; it starts right now. And ultimately, Love Wins.

      Rob Bell reads his own polarizing work with a playfulness that few others would be able to match. While his work is one of theological importance, he spends most of his time practicing his philosophical and theological sleight of hand. Ultimately, he says nothing of significance but does so in a way that will cause one to think about heaven and hell. Bell presents this work in a manner that will be enjoyed by those who agree and disdained by those who disagree. His lighthearted approach leads one to believe that the issue of hell is merely a trifle. Knowing that Rob Bell is no longer within orthodox Christianity, I can only recommend listening to this resource to the most discerning of listeners. T.D. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine

      Bell, influential pastor of Mars Hill Bible Church and author of Velvet Elvis, aims to provide an introduction to some of the big questions of Jesus' life and message. Claiming that some versions of Jesus should be rejected, particularly those used to intimidate and inspire fear or hatred, Bell persuasively interprets the Bible as a message of love and redemption. He is clearly well-versed in the scriptures, and for support his arguments look to everything from the parable of the prodigal son to Revelation to the story of Moses, in addition to his own personal experiences as a pastor, many of which are the book's highlights. Bell's vision of Christianity is inclusive, as he argues against some traditional ideas--for instance, hell as eternal punishment reserved for non-Christians--in favor of a God whose love and forgiveness is all encompassing. His style is characteristically concise and oral, his tone passionate and unabashedly positive. The result is a book that, while not exploring its own ideas deeply, may be a friendly welcome to Christianity for seekers, since they don't have a dog in the fight over hell that this book has ignited among the professionally religious.
