Amazon - please stock! - By: Mr. T. J. Moyler, 10 Feb 2008
Why doesn't Amazon stock this Christian bestseller? I have bought about 10 copies now - to give away to friends.
Enlightening - By: love reading, 24 Oct 2007
This is reallly good. Rob Bell has received some deep insights & revelations from God regarding marriage, relationships & Christ's relationship with us. A lot of the material is just souped up stuff that we've alll heard before but there were many deep revelations for me. I didn't reallly like the style of writing as it's a bit trite but it is well worth reading & I'm sure people will gain much from Bell's Godly wisdom.

Best book on sexuality I've ever read - By: J. Clarke, 16 Aug 2007
Fantastic book, After reading it, I immediately went & bought my son a copy. It's simple to read yet also thoughtful & deep. Definately reccomend it.
An honest and thought provoking book about sexuality that gives a neat overview of Christian beliefs - By: i wrote this, 05 Mar 2007
Right from the introduction to Sex God, Rob Bell coins the phrase 'this is about that'.
It's his way of summing up his argument that sexuality is reallly about human longing to connect with something more significant then our everyday lives, something that will make sense of everything else, even for just a few minutes. Basicallly, sex is about God.
I'd like to apply this idea to the whole book, 'this' (the book) 'is reallly about that' (relationships, marrage, Christianity, churches, politics, heart break, singleness, life). Bell manages to cover an incredible amount of ground during what is a pretty short book. His writing is compassionate, enthusiastic, witty, thought provoking & inspiring.
I would recommend this book to anyone in a relationship, couples who are starting out as well as couples who have been together a long time. I'm going to buy a copy for people who are getting married & I would recommend it as a wedding gift.
I would also recommend it to anyone interested in Christian beliefs as the overview offered here is as insightful as anything I have read anywhere else, & the whole 'sex' thing makes sure it stays interesting ;-)
My only criticism is that Bell does not approach the subject of homosexuality. This has become such a large issue in the Christian church that I was personallly very disappointed to see a new book on sexuality by such a prominant Christian pastor not even mention it.
Overalll, this is an improvement over his last book 'Velvet Elvis' & it deserves to become one of those 'must read' books that people pass around.
