Love Wins was an overnight viral phenomenon and New York Times bestseller that created a media storm, launching Bell as a national religious voice that is reinvigorating what it means to be religious and a Christian today. He is one of the most influential voices in the Christian world, and his new book is poised to blow open the doors on how we understand God. Bell believes we need to drop our primitive, tribal views of God and instead understand the God who wants us to become who we were designed to be, a God who created a universe of quarks and quantum string dynamics, but who also gives meaning to why newborn babies and stories of heroes and sacrifice inspire in us a deep reverence. What We Talk About When We Talk About God will reveal a God not in need of repair to catch him up to today's world but rather a God who goes before us and beckons us forward. Mystery, controversy, and reverence!
