Everything Is Spiritual is a brief history of how these ideas about creation, love, and connection shaped the author - and can shape every one of us. In this audiobook, Rob Bell explores the concept that what people really want, more than anything, is to understand their purpose here - so much so that it gives them an abiding sense of awe and wonder. And when you embrace where and who you come from and your wounds and pains and regrets, you will discover that there's an invitation lurking there in the mess of life. 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? Is this acceptable to God?

Priscilla Presley says in her new book that ordinary sexual thrills were sometimes not enough for Elvis Presley, ''especially when he was under the influence of powerful drugs. In the book, ''Elvis and Me,'' she also revelas that she had extramarital affairs with karate expert Mike Stone and with a dance instructor identified only as ''Mark. Writing about her life with the rock superstar, Presley says they created and acted out sexual fantasies ''and it seemed to bring us closer together.

I believe it is more difficult to address the issues within Christianity than outside of it. It may seem as being judgmental when we have to identify specific people who are considered to be Christian in faith and to publicly expose their theology as being unbiblical and heretical. However, the Scriptures commend those who properly warn people in love, to be careful of such and such.

A vibrant voice for a new generation of Christians—the most recognizable Christian leader among young adults—Rob Bell inspires readers to take a fresh look at traditional questions of faith. This introduction to the Christian faith is definitely outside the usual evangelical box. Bell wants to offer "a fresh take on Jesus" a riff that begins with the assertion that Jesus wanted to "call people to live in tune with reality" and that he "had no use for religion. He mocks literalists whose faith seems to depend on a six-day creation, and one of his favorite people is a woman who turned up repeatedly at his church, only to tell him that she totally disagreed with his teachings. He cites his church as a place of forgiveness, mystery, community and transformation.
