What We Talk About When We Talk About God

The true nature of God is dissected, placed under the microscope, and thoroughly analyzed in this fascinating look at the current state of Christianity and its role in society. Rob Bell narrates his own book—in a performance that makes use of oratory skills gained from his work as a pastor. Bell’s tone is simple, calm, and thoughtful. His approach is straightforward yet personable, and he doesn’t sound as if he’s preaching here; nor is he judgmental. Bell’s reading captures the spirit of his prose, which emphasizes that God is with us, for us, and ahead of us. Those critical of religion will find little to change their minds here, but the audiobook will provide a valuable listening experience for those struggling with their beliefs or searching for answers.
