Velvet Elvis
I just finished reading this phenomenal book by Rob Bell called Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith. Please, do yourself a favor, buy it, and read it. I'm terrible about summing things up, I really am, but I'm telling you, if you care anything about authenticity in your walk with God, if you care anything about Christianity's relevance in a post-modern society, if you see this Christian life as a journey rather than a destination, read this book. It will get you at the core and move you. Rob Bell is pretty cool. He has a website/organization called NOOMA. It's basically a series of spiritual short films. Check it out.
Third Day
I must also talk about how much I love the most recent Third Day album, Wherever You Are. If you're ever feeling down, just pop this puppy in and listen. It is so hopeful and so real at the same time. And I just love Third Day. Go here (their official website) to listen to excerpts of all the songs, or here to read a very well-articulated review as well as sound clips. "Mountain of God" has gotten a lot of radio play and it, for whatever reason, brings tears to my eyes almost every time I hear it. My un-radioed faves though, are "Keep On Shinin'" and "How Do You Know."
When I get excited about stuff I like, I just have to share!
