An enormously tough, challenging week was made brighter for me with news that Rob Bell has a new book and tour coming out. Drops Like Stars I'm sure will achieve Rob's usually level of awesomeness. Here's his description of the new work:
We plot, we plan, we assume things are going to go a certain way
and then they don’t and we find ourselves
In a new place, a place we haven’t been before, a place
We never would have imagined on our own,
And so it was difficult and unexpected and maybe even
Tragic and yet it opened us up and freed us to see
Things in a whole new way
Suffering does that—
It hurts,
But it also creates.
How many of the most significant moments in your
Life came not because it all went right, but because
It all fell apart?
It’s strange how there can be art in the agony…
The Drops Like Stars tour is a two
Hour exploration of the endlessly complex
Relationship between suffering and creativity—
And I’d love to see you there.
I hope to see him there, either in the ATL or Nashville. Road Trip!!
In reading up on Rob's new work, I also came across this profile of the "hipper than thou" precher on Time.com. Good read.
