Drops Like Stars is beautiful.
Rob Bell never fails to have impact with his teachings, his words have such power behind them. He'll hit you time and time again with mind-blowing ideas that you cant help chew over and explore. Drops Like Stars delivers on that front, but is so much more. The book is visually stunning, the images add so much to the power of the words. I know this sounds odd, but it feels amazing too! The quality of the paper creates a sense of wonder in itself, you'll not want to rush this book. I touched and caressed each page as the words touched and caressed my heart and mind. That sounds poncy? Sorry! I just can't find the words to describe how much this book demands to be experienced as a whole. The words, the images, the feel of the thing!
The first time I read a Rob Bell book it was so very different than any other Christian book I'd ever read; refreshing, powerful, challenging. Drops Like Stars wasn't what I was expecting from a 'Rob Bell book', but once again he's managed to open my mind and my eyes to the possibility of life lived a better way. Wonderful.
