Love Wins

A Book About Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived

By: Rob Bell

Narrated by: Rob Bell

Length: 3 hrs and 39 mins

Publisher's summary

Millions of Christians have struggled with how to reconcile God's love and God's judgment: Has God created billions of people over thousands of years only to select a few to go to heaven and everyone else to suffer forever in hell? Is this acceptable to God? How is this "good news"?

Troubling questions, so troubling that many have lost their faith because of them. Others only whisper the questions to themselves, fearing or being taught that they might lose their faith and their church if they ask them out loud.

But what if these questions trouble us for good reason? What if the story of heaven and hell we have been taught is not, in fact, what the Bible teaches? What if what Jesus meant by heaven, hell, and salvation are very different from how we have come to understand them?

What if it is God who wants us to face these questions?

Author, pastor, and innovative teacher Rob Bell presents a deeply biblical vision for rediscovering a richer, grander, truer, and more spiritually satisfying way of understanding heaven, hell, God, Jesus, salvation, and repentance. The result is the discovery that the "good news" is much, much better than we ever imagined. Love wins.

I've listening to this ten times over

As a Christian my whole life - he has answered and asked every question that has come to my mind. It's so comforting to know - that no matter what - LOVE wins.

Easy reading, straight forward, life changing

Title sums it up for me. Not one to write reviews usually, so forgive my 'briefness'. Rob's simple message is so logical and yet has changed my entire outlook on Christianity. Laid to rest many issues and problems I have held for years. Thank you Rob.

loved it

a refreshing perspective. processing it as I continue my journey and persuit of knowing God.

Rob hits the nail on the head.

This is so good. Very comprehensive and a gospel worth hearing. Breath of fresh air.

Your Life Will Change

If you could sum up Love Wins in three words, what would they be?

Love always wins

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did listen to this book in one sitting. One day. Actually, no, a few days in a row. On repeat. Still refer back to it. Brilliant.

Any additional comments?

If you're comfortable in your religion and haven't experienced enough religious abuse to wake you up thinking 'there's got to be something different' - buy this book and read it when youve reached that point. However, if you're already there and are teeming with more questions than answers about what's really God and what is conforming to just someone's preference and religious culture. Something's got to give. This book was written for me. Er.. for you. Read it. But be prepared to realize God doesnt fit the box we've created for him to dwell in culturally. This will make you walk outside to the dog run and let God off the leash. Be aware, though, this act will change your life.

This is a God I can worship!

I love the message of this book: that God loves me (and you) no matter what! That Jesus came that we can live more abundantly in this life, it's not about the next. I felt, at times, that Rob was talking too fast, but then, I can always listen to it over and over. Thanks, Rob, for speaking your truth.

So much here

I love that this book is so succinct in presentation. I also found that to be really challenging to listen to. I found myself wishing Bell would slow down in the reading of it to let more sink in. Really thought provoking work. Thanks!

Changed my life

Rob opened up my eyes to how the redemptive love of Jesus was poured out to ALL mankind. It’s still a great mystery for me but has inspired me to study more, but most of all to embrace God’s all-consuming love and to share with those around me.
