specialk046 's review for:
I guess I don't see the heresy in this book that everyone is talking about.
I think he makes a good point about God being this loving God so why would he want people to be eternally tormented for their sins, especially when Jesus died for our sins? Maybe I missed the lesson on that chapter.
I think he also makes a good point when he says we should be living a heavenly life here on Earth while we are here. Why should we wait for heaven? Why can't we be a loving, caring, compassionate people right now? Why wait for that? Love truly does win. I think we just need to put it into practice on a daily basis. However, maybe this doesn't hold sway in the typical American society because we are so individualistic. If we lived in a more collective society, maybe we would feel differently.
As always, with any of Rob Bell's books, I have to read them more than once, several times, to get the big picture and keep learning.
