First Official Review of Rob Bell's book 'Love Wins'

Well, I'm still in Chicago really enjoying this class on Missional Church with Ed Stetzer. But we interrupt this program for an important announcement. The first official review of Rob's book is out, and let's just say it's not pretty. Or maybe the correct term is 'complimentary.'

Here's one quote from the book:
"A staggering number of people have been taught that a select few Christians will spend forever in a peaceful, joyous place called heaven, while the rest of humanity spends forever in torment and punishment in hell with no chance for anything better. . . . This is misguided and toxic and ultimately subverts the contagious spread of Jesus’ message of love, peace, forgiveness, and joy that our world desperately needs to hear" (preface, vi).
