What We Talk about When We Talk about God

Rob Bell, a pastor and author, asks what we mean when we talk about God, and suggests that the word refers to a presence that is within everything, rather than to a distant figure. He draws on science, in particular quantum physics and music, to describe a universe full of mystery and connection. He reflects on faith, on the idea that God is "for us", with us and ahead of us, and on the experience of wonder. The book is a short collection of essays in a conversational style, with questions for reflection.

It is for readers who want a less dogmatic view of spirituality, including those who have questions about traditional religion. It suits Christian and non-Christian readers who like reflective, accessible writing.

Inward-looking; an easy read.

Best for readers like The Story Seeker. Which reader are you?
