Velvet Elvis

It was difficult to find a visible copy of this book on the web as it is white...all white except for the title and author's name. But to be totally honest with you, this book needs no fancy cover because it is awesome inside.
As I told you before I ususally read two books at a time and the fiction I'm reading is a little thick so it's taking me a little more time than this gem did. But then again,by Rob Bell is so good that you have to savor each chapter...you just don't want to forget what he said or confuse it with the next chapter's message.
Rob Bell is a Pastor at the Mars Hill Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan. His message on the Christian faith is so down to earth and so simple and filled with so much joy that you just don't want the book to end. He mixes a little Jewish history, throws in a dash of humor and a big cup of the Christian faith, Rob Bell style, leaving you wanting more. He truly has you look at a Christ- filled life in a completely different way.
For instance, our pastor, based one of his Sunday sermon's on the first chapter of this book, entitled "Jump"....and believe it or not, he actually had a trampoline there and jumped on it....it was great...Rob Bell would have loved it!! It was joyful, it was funny and, believe me, I think everyone walked away with a great message that Sunday.
And that's how Rob Bell writes.....he's full of joy, he's funny and you walk away with one great message about the Christian faith! Check out a excerpt on amazon.com...and enjoy!
