Anyone who has recently entered into a Christian bookstore has come across a white-covered book with a simple and enticing title Velvet Elvis. At least if the younger generation is not enticed by the king’s lyrics, they will be captivated by the eccentricity of the book’s look and certainly the content. With 194 colorful pages with phrases that look like they are each a separate paragraph, Rob Bell articulates a new expression of the Christian faith. In much of the same way that others that preceded him have done (McLaren and others), Bell brings in each page a sense of newness that is certainly appealing to any reader who has experienced the betrayal of traditional church life.
