My forced medical need for reduced activity has allowed me to read a bit for pleasure, as opposed to reading for academic assignment.

Rob Bell. Velvet Elvis. He will make you think... that's usually a good thing. :wink:

LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!

The only criticisms I have heard from people about the book are from people that have never read the book. They have only read quotes from the book and didn't get the whole picture.

Excellent book! I know Dolfan really enjoyed it also.

I had a friend recommend this book to me last year, and I really really enjoyed it. I love quoting it, and after I get the puzzled looks, urging my listeners to read it. :D

I did love it, and still think it's fantastic-amundo! (A little Fonzie lingo, Elvis' biggest fan. 8) )


BTW, I have a real Velvet Elvis that my wife said we need to part company with since we moved. Not sure she means it yet, but if anyone's interested, let me know. It is in very good condition, and he's even crying.

And here I thought it was a post about prized findings at flea markets in the South. :lol:
