Repainting the Christian Faith
God never changes, nor do the central truths of Christianity.
But our understanding of those truths is in constant flux. Christians
will always be exploring and discovering what it means to live in
harmony with God and each other. Now in softcover, Velvet Elvis
offers original and refreshingly personal perspectives on what Christianity
is really about.
We know there’s something more. We sense it, we
feel it, and we want it. But how do we find it—a spirituality
that stands up to the questions of an honest, searching mind?
“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 pursuit of Jesus is leading us backward
as much as forward … I am learning that what seems brand new
is often just the discovery of something that has been there all along—
it just got lost somewhere and it needs to be picked up, dusted off,
and reclaimed.”
“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?”
