David Crowder and Rob Bell

Tonight, I finished reading Praise Habit by David Crowder.  If you are familiar with him and/or his music, you will probably not be surprised that he has quite an interesting writing style.  I definitely think that it is worth a read.  On the last page (156), he writes:

"Sometimes life comes at us with the delicacy of a sunset, and other times it comes with the rawness of sushi and the bitter bite of wasabi.  Sometimes the tears will be because you cannot stand empty-eyed in the presence of such beauty and sometimes they will be full of fire, but notice/know this:  You are here.  You Are Here!  You are here and you are not alone."

I also highly recommend listening to David Crowder Band:

Upon finishing Praise Habit, I have decided to read Sex God by Rob Bell.  In part, I am selecting this book from my reading list because of Rob Bell's writing style (you can finish his books fairly quickly).  However, I am also curious as to what he has to say about sexuality and spirituality, especially because it is an incredibly relevant topic - from our men's bible study to a short sermon at a recent wedding.  Whether you agree with his writing or not, I suggest reading it to become more familiar with the ideas that he discusses rather than completely rejecting all of his ministry as "heresy."  (See Donald Miller's Blog Post)
