OK - pleasant surprise from Amazon today. Rob Bell and Don Golden will soon be releasing a new book entitled: Jesus Wants To Save Christians - A Manifesto For The Church In Exile.
A description from Zondervan:
There is a church not too far from us that recently added a $25 million addition to their building. Our local newspaper ran a front-page story not too long ago about a study revealing that one in five people in our city lives in poverty. This is a book about those two numbers. It's a book about faith and fear, wealth and war, poverty, power, safety, terror, Bibles, bombs, and homeland insecurity, It's about empty empires and the truth that everybody's a priest, it's about oppression, occupation, and what happens when Christians support, animate and participate in the very things Jesus came to set people free from. It's about what it means to be a part of the church of Jesus in a world where some people fly planes into buildings while others pick up groceries in Hummers.

Nice cover art! I heard about this from a friend recently, but I'm glad it's official. This is one of my favorite series so I can't wait to see what new ideas they put together. Did you hear that the Gods Aren't Angry DVD is coming out in June?
I'm glad we got to talk the other day Ben. It's always encouraging to hear from you. I'm so excited to hear about what God is doing in OKC!
Already pre-ordered my copy, looking forward to it!
