Love Wins: A Book About Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived by Rob Bell

3.0

What I like about this book is that, along with being a pretty easy and quick read Bell promotes that he is not the first person to come up with these ideas. I like that he gives readers things to think about without owning his own opinion. I like when people bring up the idea that maybe it's ok for us to doubt a teaching we thought was hard and fast in order to find the truth. I like the idea that God can probably take our doubt. What I don't like about this book is that it's an easy and quick read about hell, which isn't an easy subject. Bell makes it less scary but doesn't dive too deeply into scripture, which I think could have benefited his points. I also think that although the book is well-written, some of his examples are kind-of reaching, which annoys me because I didn't think he HAD to try so hard. I think he could have made his point by asking fewer, unanswered questions, and diving a little further into the subject he was talking about. Still, despite what critics say, I really think Bell's heart and mind were in the right place, when writing this. And I think people need to settle the heck down and stop being so mean to him. Just saying.
