Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell
The Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell gets you thinking! This book was read for a book club, but was one of those books that gets you thinking and causes you to not want to stop! The book explores the Christian faith and providing a way to repaint your view. Mr. Bell allows the reader to rethink things as they have been portrayed and validate the questioning of faith --yet interpreting the Bible into today's world instead of focusing on the days when Jesus was alive. This book is recommended to all that are looking for clarification on the Bible in today's time and looking deeper at their faith.
