Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith
Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith

Rethinking faith; practical Jesus-follower's journey today.

If you're someone who feels the disconnect between ancient faith and modern life, "Velvet Elvis" could be the bridge you're searching for. Rob Bell shares a fresh perspective that might resonate with your desire for an authentic, lived-out spirituality, one that echoes with the radical roots of early Christianity yet speaks to the complexities of our time. This isn't an old tune with a new lyric; it's a call to honestly wrestle with what living "The Way" means when the world is shifting beneath your feet.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

When the Jesus revolution exploded in the first century, its members were called People of The Way. The way of Jesus—the way of love and peace and sharing your possessions and compassion and risk and forgiveness and harmony. The Way. Today, millions in our world continue to be fascinated with Jesus and his teachings, but are scared to death of his followers. If the Christian movement in Western culture does not rediscover its origins as a way of living and relating to the world, to God, and to our neighbors, it may likely die in the next few generations. The days of repeating the same propositions, beating people over the head with statements about hell, and claiming authority over people because of some sort of moral imperative are over. Christians, and many others, have written plenty of books about the shifts that have caused the dramatic decline in the effectiveness of the Christian message in our culture. While their analysis is often penetrating and right on—especially in the areas of postmodern philosophy and its effect on how we understand the nature of truth and belief—that's not what this book is about. This book is an exploration of what it looks like to actually try to live in The Way of Jesus again—in a world so dramatically different from the early years of Christianity. So what does the Christian faith look like in the new world we find ourselves in? Not theories, but stories. Not guesses about the direction it might take, but accounts about what directions
