Rob Bell has penned a new book, published by HarperOne, "How to Be Here: A Guide to Creating a Life Worth Living." This represents the storied former pastor's shift to the self-help genre.
Has anyone read it?
One reviewer oberves:
I used to complain about Joel Osteen's one semester of college as the explanation for some of his ideas. But, with Wheaton and Fuller degrees, you can't grant Bell the same extenuation. Oy vey!

One reviewer oberves:
But don't expect there to be any quotation from Scripture. Neither does Bell write as a pastor. Rather donning the garment of a self-help writer, the new book minmizes the role of God and everything Biblical but emphazises more of the self. In the book, Bell encourages readers to take personal and professional risks.
Here's the book's synopsis: "Each of us was created for something great-we just need to figure out what it is and find the courage to do it. Whether it's writing the next great American novel, starting a business, or joining a band, Rob Bell wants to help us make those dreams become reality. Our path is ours and ours alone to pursue, he reminds us, and in doing so, we derive great joy because we are living our passions.
