Rob Bell

I want to introduce you to a very talented man from Mars Hill Bible Church, named Rob Bell. Rob founded Mars Hill, a very successful church in Seattle WA, in 1999 and continues to be one of their pastors. (http://www.marshill.org/) Rob Bell is well know for his books Velvet Elvis, Sex God, and Jesus Wants to Save Christians. He is also known for his work with Nooma.com, which is what I would like to make you aware of today.

At http://www.nooma.com/, you may view trailers and purhcase 24 short films (about 10 minutes), each with a strong spiritual message that resonates like nothing else you've experienced in only 10 minutes. Rob Bell is, in my opinion, a very talented speaker. He looks into the camera and right into your soul, he touches the part of you that most needs touching.

As I mentioned there are trailers on nooma.com, in addition, YouTube.com offers several of these short films to give you a taste of their power. Check them out for yourself, for your church or for your family. We used them as teaching tools with our youth group and found them captivating and effective, especially to those newly growing in their faith.

I am also happy to give a little plug for Rob's books, particularly Velvet Elvis. Rob's way of looking at Christianity is so refreshing, biblical, powerful, and freeing. Your time will be well spent reading his thoughts.

Enjoy!
