Love Wins
Love Wins by Rob Bell was published by HarperCollins Publishers in March 2011 and is our 9486th best seller. The ISBN for Love Wins is 9780007420735.
Best Selling author Rob Bell presents a compelling picture of the importance of faith in the book Love Wins, challenging beliefs and preconceptions held by Christians and atheists. For new atheists such as Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens faith has become an easy subject to attack certain biblical beliefs from creation to salvation. Love wins is about a deep secret of faith for millions of Christians. The secret is that some Christians essentially don’t believe what they have been taught is the truths about their faith, but for tradition they keep quiet and confide in close friends and family their doubts and questions about salvation regarding Jesus – The only way? And God - Is God violent? Are billions of people going to be punished forever in torment in hell?
In Love Wins, Rob Bell aims to answer such questions and beliefs that concern people of all viewpoints, Christian and not. Bell draws a vibrant understanding of faith and Christianity in today society as he believes Jesus would have wanted it to be, rather than its typical stereotyped view by some fundamentalist Christians and the new atheist in recent years. The message that Rob Bell presents is a simple and life changing message – Love Wins.
What People are Saying about Love Wins
"In the current religious climate in America, it isn't easy to develop an imagination, a thoroughly biblical imagination, that takes in the comprehensive and eternal work of Christ in all people and all circumstances in love and for salvation. Rob Bell goes a long way in helping us acquire just such an imagination. Love Wins accomplishes this without a trace of soft sentimentality and without compromising an inch of evangelical conviction in its proclamation of the good news that is most truly for all."
- Eugene H. Peterson, Professor Emeritus of Spiritual Theology, Regent College, and author of The Message and The Pastor
"In Love Wins, Rob Bell tackles the old heaven-and-hell question and offers a courageous alternative answer. Thousands of readers will find freedom and hope and a new way of understanding the biblical story - from beginning to end."
- Brian D. McLaren, author of A New Kind of Christianity and Naked Spirituality
"Love Wins is a bold, prophetic and poetic masterpiece. I don't know any writer who expresses the inexpressible love of God as powerfully and as beautifully as Rob Bell! Many will disagree with some of Rob's perspectives, but no one who seriously engages this book will put it down unchanged. A 'must read' book!"
- Greg Boyd, senior pastor at Woodland Hills Church and author of The Myth of a Christian Nation

Love wins? Bell's forgotten what true love is - Alec, worried about R.Bell, Cheshire
Just like to raise an issue with Rob Bell's book, and those who have reviewed it! He raises the concept that our response to Jesus in this life, does not determine whether we go to hell or are part of the new creation. Be warned: a persuasive, cleverly written and easy to read book does not equal Biblical truth. Read this through a true Biblical framework and with Spiritual Discernment.
Utterly misleading and close to heretical - Vit, Birmingham
Unfortunately, there is nothing in claims of Rob Bell that was not said before. Same old story, twisting the Bible to suit his own human centered agenda. There is nothing about the holiness of God, His just character, His righteous demand to punish sin. I am afraid that Rob Bell might find himself in hell if he continues like that.
Terribly Misleading - Carey, Bible Student
Satan got Eve to question what God had clearly said in the garden. She was emboldened to take what God had forbidden by the devil's clever insinuation and paid for it. It astounds me that in a book about heaven and hell that supposedly is teaching what the Bible says that Rob Bell would never even quote the clearest OT passages about the resurrection of the dead and the eternal damnation of sinners- Isaiah 66:22-24 and Daniel 12:2. And even more so, key NT passages like Luke 13:23-28, Mark 9:43-48, Romans 2:4-5, Romans 10:14-17, Luke 12:58-13:9, etc. These passages and others so perfectly refute the writer's conjectures that if he merely quoted them without explaining them away he would then have nothing to write about. The good news of the gospel is necessary because there is bad news, as Paul shows in Roman 1:18-3:20- our guilt before God and righteous condemnation of us on the day of judgment- if we're not made new creatures and forgiven in Christ. The Bible says Flee from the wrath to come and to bring forth fruits meet (fit) for repentance (Matthew 3:7-10). That is the response we must make to God's generous offer of mercy and grace through the death and resurrection of Christ. When we consider that Jesus himself warned his hearers to turn from sin or be punished in hell forever; and that he left a responsibility for us to do so in the limited time of our lives in this world in Mark 9:43-48, Luke 12:58-13:9, then anyone who claims to speak for Jesus and denies that warning and that urgency must be treated as a false teacher/prophet. Jesus loves us more than anyone else, and to deny and leave out what he has clearly said is to oppose him. What Love Wins does is give false comfort to those who have not turned from all sin and let Christ take his rightful hold on their lives (Psalm 2:10-12, Hebrews 5:9). The same type of false comfort the Serpent gave Eve in the garden. Love Wins also doesn't take into account that it is often more pleasurable SHORT-TERM to disobey God than to follow Christ. There is a pleasure to sin that is very uncomfortable to forsake to the point it can be called suffering to do so (See Hebrews 11:25, Romans 8:17). That goes against Bell's premise that hell is what we create for ourselves by disobeying God. Truly obeying God can be extremely unpleasant and only those who are totally convinced by Christ's total faithfulness and the sureness of his promises will actually be his disciples and walk the narrow way that leads to life. That is when God really does get glory. We have the privilege that we can go straight to the Bible to see those promises, the truth about heaven and hell, and the entire counsel of God regarding salvation. May all who read this not be deceived by preachers who say what appeals to the itching ears of people.
His most controversial book so far - Stu (Head of the techy bits @ eden)
But something that should not be read for its good lessons on how to live better and not judge. You can disagree with his views of heaven and hell but thats missing the point of his book. As always Bell has insight to help promote the message of Jesus' love for people. Worth a read so you can form your own opinion even if you disagree with it!
