The Velvet Elvis Controversey
If for nothing else, this book is worth the read simply for the controversey it is stirring up in evangelical circles. What? Jesus the best possible way? Jesus the way to ultimate reality? I find this book to be exciting, intriguing, and regenerating. Whether you have claimed to be a follower of Jesus, or don't buy into it at all.....you will enjoy this book. Rob's sense of humor,heart, compassion, and drive for people to live in tune with ultimate reality is the best gospel yet! (Gospel: Good News )

Outside the box: a different view of Jesus
The book is very thought provoking and challenging especially for those of us brought up within the traditional, rigid, religiosity-ridden, church (choose your denomination!), and that's a good thing! I think we all need to follow Jacob's example and wrestle with our views of who (and/or what) we think God is. He's big enough to take us on. All truth is God's truth, and so long as our true motive is seeking the Truth (as opposed to proving one another wrong) He'll guide us there.

Velvet Elvis: A Pleasant Suprise!
Velvet Elvis was the first book I read on the Nook. A random download, based only on the title, this book provided a fresh perspective on the many questions my faith and personality continuously raise.
Nothing in life is chance. This is a book anyone will enjoy reading!1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Triple take!
I'm not a big reader but this is a very interesting read. I also needed about three attempts to cover and understand everything that Rob had to say. I would highly recommend this book to everyone.

Provocative!!
Provocative!! Bell does a great job of breaking old concepts and putting the cultural responsibility of believers in perspective. So often authors seem to somehow rise above the fray and never experience real ministry challenges. Not so with Rob Bell. He has face the same questions and challenges I have and I appreciate his courage in sharing.

Rob Gets it Right
I won't bore you with a long, drawn out commentary...I will simply say that, whether you are a life-long Christian or someone who doubts the existence of God altogether, you will enjoy this book. If nothing else, Rob will challenge you to think about Jesus and this whole Christianity thing in a way that you may not have thought before, and you may be surprised. Having experienced Rob's church, and his messages, I can tell you that he is as real and as honest as you will find. If you've got questions, doubts, or a stale faith, grab yourself a copy of Velvet Elvis and sit down somewhere quiet. You will be happy you did.

Velvet Elvis
Encourages openess of mind in a time where we need it most, while I don't agree with everything said its still a great read that causes you to stop and reflect on things you havent ever even thought about.
