I'm so glad I finally read this. As my faith has grown and evolved, one of the things I've struggled with most is reading the Bible. Each time I tried to get back into reading it again, I felt like I couldn't get away from the way I used to understand it and it sometimes brought up negative emotions. I wanted to sink into it again, but I didn't have a framework for how to read it any differently.
After taking a class at my church, I started to see how the accounts in the Bible could come to life for me in a new way. I'd heard about this book before, and it was mentioned in my class at church as well, so I knew I wanted to get to it eventually.
And I absolutely loved it!! Rob Bell was such a fun and engaging narrator, and everything he had to say felt approachable and accessible. I can't recommend it enough!
