A different book with different ideas
15. September 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Amazon Vine™ Rezension
(Was ist das?)
Before getting this book I was really surprised by many of the comments and reviews I had read about it. It seemed like people were completely surprised by what this book was, what it contained and what it was about. It seemed like people didn't research or read the product description of the book before purchasing it, or that they expected something completely normal from Rob Bell.
For me, this book met my expectations and really presented some ideas that made me think. First, this is not a small little hardback book like Rob's previous works (Velvet Elvis, Sex God, and Jesus Wants to Save Christians). This is a larger hardback, 12 inch by 10 inch; basically the size of a good coffee table book. True to what others have said the book does not contain a ton of writing but rather is full of colored pages and photos/portraits of objects and scenes. The writing is interspersed in the same parsed style of short sentences and fragments that are Rob Bell's style. As far as the book and artwork go they are quite nice and do a good job of helping Rob make his points, but everything is in a matte finish, I feel the book could have benefitted from glossy sheets, but I can only guess that would have raised the price of the book significantly. Oh and no, you can't read through this book in 10 minutes as I have read some people say. If you work your way through this book in ten minutes you miss the point and I recommend you return the book, because you will get nothing more out of it.
As far as content goes, I think Rob came up with the idea of this being an "Art Book" hence the chapter's titles: "The Art of Disruption", "The Art of Honesty", "The Art of the Ache", "The Art of Solidarity", "The Art of Elimination" and "The Art of Failure". And I think by reading those chapter titles you can get an idea of where Rob is taking the reader. And an interesting note the table of contents is at the rear of the book rather than the front, an interesting idea that gets the reader right into the book without any presuppositions.
Overall I found the book to be thought provoking and it made me think about subjects like disruption, ache, and failure in ways I had not before. This book doesn't delve into deep theology, hermeneutics, or psychology but rather it explores what it means to be human and what we all experience. I benefited from reading this book and I pray you may too.

Not Bell's best
18. September 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Amazon Vine™ Rezension
(Was ist das?)
Confession: Love Rob Bell's improv teaching style, love the cadence of his voice and the way he is able to so frequently make a person THINK creatively.
Confession: Never have cared much for the NOOMA DVDs because they feel so contrived in their design to capture their target audience (however, I believe he actually does a great job at capturing that audience and growing their faith).
With those confessions out of the way I can say that I love/hate this book. I love the feel of the paper (good quality), love the artwork, love the free-flowing prose, love that it isn't heavy, love that for me the "white spaces" (the blank pages) easily lead me to reflect on what I've read. I hate that the paper that I love is so incredibly wasteful (especially in the book of a man who is so supportive of good stewardship of the earth's resources), hate that ths book on suffering would probably be thrown in the trash by a street-weary, worn-out, addicted homeless person (and they should be considered the experts, the ultimate target audience on suffering). I hate that this book feels even more contrived than the NOOMA videos and most contemporary worship services at the churches made up of this target audience. I hate the waste of the blank pages. Lastly, I REALLY hate the price!
This wasn't a life-changing book. I happen to be in the midst of loss and suffering and this is not even on the top 20 list of books I'd turn to for comfort, enlightenment, or spiritual direction.
Still love Bell, still think he's a man with a mission and message.

Disappointed at first . . . then I actually sat down with it.
12. Dezember 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
When I first picked up this book I was very disappointed. I thought that Rob Bell had let fame go to his head, that he was trying to be uberhip. It appeared that he had spread a 12-page book over about 150 pages. The format was as simple as a child's picture book. I skimmed through it and thought it was an over-priced waste of paper. So I set the book aside.
Then, a couple days ago, I had an evening with no urgent priorities, so I sat down with the book and started going through it page by page. I found that the fact that Rob spread things out caused me to slow down and take time with the concepts, letting the words evoke thoughts, feelings, and memories from my own life. I began to read it experientially rather than intellectually. Of course my staunch Calvinist friends would immediately decry this approach as a total waste of time, but I found myself immersed in a time of serious reflection before God. As one who almost turned his back on his faith because of the pain of addiction, a brain tumor, cancer, unemployment, injustice, and death in my immediate world, this book touched me. In the book, Rob says that suffering makes us bitter or better. I've spent time on both paths. When I was on the former path I would have merely sneered at this book. Now I rejoice that God brought this reminder of His presence and His character into my life at this point. God can redeem our pain. The description of God in the book is perfectly apropos: "The God who wastes nothing."
Others may or may not find this book to be of value. From my perspective, it's a matter of expectations. It all depends on how you approach it. It is certainly very different from his previous books. The reason I give it four stars is because I believe the appeal of this book is very narrow. I suspect it might have been designed to be a catalyst for a meaningful spiritual experience, hence the unusual pace of delivery. When I approached it with an open, contemplative spirit, I found this this book to be a thoughtful, heartfelt gift from a sensitive writer. If I had insisted on another book with Rob's brand of theology, or even some sort of quasi-missional manifesto, it would have remained a mere overpriced, uberhip piece of crap.
