A couple of new books with a lot of buzz...
My reading has slowed to a grinding, almost dead halt these last couple of weeks as I'm getting ready to get married. Funny what wedding preparation does to your reading schedule.
But there are two books that I am excited about reading, and of which I have been hearing all kinds of buzz about. And I'm sure they are going to be controversial as well.
Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith
The first book that is not yet released is by Rob Bell, who is the teaching pastor at Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids, MI. He is also the man behind the NOOMA video series. I'm sure this book will cause quite a stir, but I am looking forward to getting a copy and reading it.
Post-Rapture Radio: Lost Writings from the Failed Revolution at the End of the Century
This second book I have only recently heard of because of a lot of bloggers raving about it online. Quite satirical, with dead on accuracy regarding the destruction of our culture. Russell Rathbun is the teaching pastor at House of Mercy church in St. Paul, MN.
If any of you have read either of these books, please let me know as I would be real interested in hearing about them.
