Drops Like Stars by Rob Bell

A couple weeks ago I read a new book called ‘Drops Like Stars’ by Rob Bell.  It is a piece of art wrapped in an enigma that drips with fragrant truth.  Rob weaves together a variety of stories and unlikely analogies – producing a cogent mix that did more for my understanding of pain and suffering than most books on the same topic seem capable of doing.  It’s done up in an oversize ‘coffee table’ format with pink pages and big pictures.  It’s definitely a creative approach to Christian literature and I strongly encourage anyone who has faced suffering to pick up a copy.  My wife and I read it on the couch last week and it was beautiful.
