Instant New York Times Bestseller

Rob Bell, the beloved author of Love Wins and What We Talk About When We Talk About God, goes deep into the Bible to show how it is more revelatory, revolutionary, and relevant than we ever imagined--and offers a cogent argument for why we need to look at it in a fresh, new way.

In Love Wins, Rob Bell confronted the troubling questions that many people of faith were afraid to ask about heaven, hell, fate, and faith. Using the same inspired, inquisitive approach, he now turns to our most sacred book, the Bible. What Is the Bible? provides insights and answers that make clear why the Bible is so revered and what makes it truly inspiring and essential to our lives.

Rob takes us deep into actual passages to reveal the humanity behind the Scriptures. You cannot get to the holy without going through the human, Rob tells us. When considering a passage, we shouldn't ask Why did God say . . .? To get to the heart of the Bible's meaning, we should be asking: What's the story that's unfolding here and why did people find it important to tell it? What was it that moved them to record these words? What was happening in the world at that time? What does this passage/story/poem/verse/book tell us about how people understood who they were and who God was at that time? In asking these questions, Rob goes beyond the one-dimensional question of is it true? to reveal the Bible's authentic transformative power.

Rob addresses the concerns of all those who see the Bible as God's Word but are troubled by the ethical dilemmas, errors, and inconsistencies in Scripture. With What Is the Bible?, he recaptures the Good Book's magic and reaffirms its power and inspiration to shape and inspire our lives today.

--Peter Enns, author of The Sin of Certainty and host of The Bible For Normal People podcast

Perfect gift for little nephew
Format: Paperback
Young fella was asking for this book and I got it for him. He likes it and he’s very happy. That makes me happy as well. He says the illustrations and story are cool. That’s all I have to say about that. I guess this book falls in the same category as the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” book series. Wish I had these books when I was a young one. Only read Peanuts and Garfield on the weekend newspaper back in the days.

Purchased just because
Format: Hardcover
I bought this for my 9yr old he would watch them on YouTube and then I found this book. He read it in no time. I guess he liked it a lot, he didn't complain that he didn't. So if your kiddo enjoys watching them on YouTube then I'm pretty sure they will enjoy reading this book. Just being honest.
