madness amongst the flourishing

i’ve been reading rob bell’s new book what we talk about when we talk about god  and this quote has been stuck in my head since i’ve read it.

“how did the message about the Jesus who comes among us to heal us and free us and bless us and teach us how to be more generous and forgiving and less judgmental and more compassionate ever turn into something other than a clear and compelling message about God’s desire for us to flourish in God’s good world?  it’s complete madness how the Jesus story has been so thoroughly warped and distorted in our world.”

this book is making me think and stir and hope and think some more.  here’s to you and i flourishing in this good world.
