Disappointing
This bok was not what I expected at all. It is a table top display book of images rather than a discussion of creativity and suffering. It's very "nice" but not what I was after. It is also huge and does not fit on an average book shelf.
Drops Like Stars.
Drops Like Stars is beautiful.
Rob Bell never fails to have impact with his teachings, his words have such power behind them. He'll hit you time and time again with mind-blowing ideas that you cant help chew over and explore. Drops Like Stars delivers on that front, but is so much more. The book is visually stunning, the images add so much to the power of the words. I know this sounds odd, but it feels amazing too! The quality of the paper creates a sense of wonder in itself, you'll not want to rush this book. I touched and caressed each page as the words touched and caressed my heart and mind. That sounds poncy? Sorry! I just can't find the words to describe how much this book demands to be experienced as a whole. The words, the images, the feel of the thing!
The first time I read a Rob Bell book it was so very different than any other Christian book I'd ever read; refreshing, powerful, challenging. Drops Like Stars wasn't what I was expecting from a 'Rob Bell book', but once again he's managed to open my mind and my eyes to the possibility of life lived a better way. Wonderful.
Drops like stars: a few thoughts on creatuvuty and suffering
This both a beautiful book either to just look at as well as a moving powerful book to dip into. It has all of the thought provoking and challenging narrative that we can expect - profound words in a nutshell. As ever Rob Bell doesn't tell us what to think, but leaves us to question our preconceived ideas about our beliefs.
from the very start every reader can identify with the 'walk down a hospital corridor' - as a time to celebrate or a time of deep sorrow.
