Лучшие книги Роба Белла

Самая смелая христианская книга, написанная в наше время. По силе влияния Роба Белла можно поставить в один ряд с Ником Вуйчичем. ""Любовь побеждает"" - это столь же мощный вызов и посыл к позитивной и осмысленной жизни, получивший горячий отклик миллионов сердец. Часто ли вы слышите, как очень серьезные духовные люди говорят о нравственности, спасении души, вечной жизни? Немногочисленные избранные попадут в приятное место, называемое раем, а кому-то маячит малоприятная перспектива вовеки корчиться в адских муках. Часто ли вы слышите призывы к расправам над кощунниками? Требования защищать чью-то оскорбленную веру? Обещания Божьего наказания всем, кто так не думает? Все эти предупреждения, угрозы и призывы насаждают как основную истину христианской веры, усомниться в ней — все равно, что отвергнуть Бога. Но все это — ложные, ядовитые ""вечные ценности"", которые препятствуют распространению настоящей евангельской вести о любви, примирении, прощении и радости. Той вести о любви Бога , в которой отчаянно нуждается наш мир. Еще до своего выхода книга Роба Белла стала сенсацией и расколола читающий мир на два многочисленных лагеря противников и сторонников автора.

Rob Bell’s extraordinary and provocative Drops Like Stars, published as part of the Rob Bell Classics relaunch, explores the relationship between suffering and creativity, and the transformative power of pain.‘We plot. We plan. We assume things are going to go a certain way. And when they don’t, we find ourselves in a new place – a place we haven’t been before; a place we never would have imagined on our own. It is the difficult and the unexpected, and maybe even the tragic, that opens us up and frees us to see things in new ways.‘Many of the most significant moments in our lives come not because it all went right but because it all fell apart. Suffering does that. It hurts, but it also creates. This book is an exploration of the complex relationship between suffering and creativity, driven by the belief that there is art in the agony.’ Rob Bell

Rob Bell’s highly-praised third book, Jesus Wants to Save Christians, is his most political yet. Published as part of the Rob Bell Classics relaunch, this is an inspiring call-to-arms for Christians to tackle poverty, inequality and oppression.‘There is a church not too far from us that recently added a $25 million addition to their building,’ writes Rob Bell. ‘Our local newspaper ran a front-page story not too long ago about a study revealing that one in five people in our city lives in poverty. This is a book about those two numbers.’Jesus Wants to Save Christians is a book about faith and fear, wealth and war, poverty, power, safety, terror, Bibles, bombs, and homeland insecurity.

Sex God, Rob Bell’s follow-up to the bestselling Velvet Elvis, tackles the controversial relationship between sexuality and spirituality. Published as part of the Rob Bell Classic relaunch, Sex God explores the links between love, sex, and God.‘God and sex go together. You can’t separate the two’, says Rob Bell, because this physical world is intimately linked to deeper spiritual realities. And so, in order to make sense of sexuality, at some point you have to talk about God. With beauty and unusual insight, Sex God explores this connection.

'This book is for those who need a fresh take on Jesus and what it means for us to live the kind of life he teaches us to live,' writes Rob Bell.This new edition of Velvet Elvis, along with the relaunch of Rob Bell’s three other classic works, offers what Rob does best: original and refreshingly personal perspectives on what Christianity is really about. 'We have to test everything,' writes Bell. 'Do that to this book. Don't swallow it uncritically. Think about it. Wrestle with it. Just because I'm a Christian and I'm trying to articulate a Christian worldview doesn't mean I've got it nailed. I'm contributing to the discussion. God has spoken, and the rest is commentary, right?'
