Love Wins; A book about HEAVEN, HELL, and the fate of every person who ever lived, by Rob Bell will start next Sunday with the first two chapters. We will discuss 2 chapters each week. The First Chapter is called, “What about the Flat Tire?” and Chapter 2 is “Here is the New There. We will meet from 9-10am each Sunday in June.
The book jacket states, “Millions of Christians have struggled with how to reconcile God’s love and God’s judgment: Has God created billions of people over thousands of years only to select a few to go to heaven and everyone else to suffer forever in hell? How is this “Good News?”
Troubling questions – so troubling that many have lost their faith because of them. Others only whisper the questions to themselves, fearing or being taught that they might lose their faith and their church if they ask them out loud.
But what if these questions trouble us for good reason? What if the story of heaven and hell we have been taught is not, in fact, what the Bible teaches? What if what Jesus meant by heaven, hell, and salvation are very different from how we have come to understand them?
What if it is God who wants us to face these questions?
Author, pastor and innovative teacher Rob Bell presents a deeply biblical vision for rediscovering a richer, grander, truer, and more spiritually satisfying way of understanding heaven, hell, God, Jesus, salvation, and repentance. The result is the discovery that the ‘good news’ is much, much better than we ever imagined.”
I hope you will get the book and join us starting June 3rd!
