VELVET ELVIS

I have been reading a great book entitled Velvet Elvis. I always like to pass good resources on to others and I think this is a book that any one will enjoy the read.

Rob Bell does a great job writing about many different aspects of the Christian faith. Here is a quote from the last page of the book that I think sums up the book pretty well.

"I am like you. I have seen plenty done in the name of God that I'm sure God doesn't want anything to do with. I have lots of reasons for bailing on the whole thing... But... I am not going to stop dreaming of a new kind of faith for the millions of us who need it. I am not going to stop dreaming of new kinds of communities that put the love of God and the brilliance of Jesus on display in honest, compelling ways. I am not going to stop dreaming of new ways to live lives of faith and creativity and meaning and significance."

I hope you will pick the book up and give it a read. If you are in the Single young adults class we will start using this book for our class discussion and teaching next week. ENJOY!
