Free Love Wins: For Teens Ebooks Online
If God were throwing a party, would everyone be invited?Or does God invite some and not others?And if so, how does God decide?Is it what you say?Is it what you do?Is it what you're going to do?Is it who your friends are?Or what your friends do?Or what religion you happened to be born into?Or where you live, or what you look like, or what you believe?What if the idea of heaven and hell that we have been taught is not, in fact, what the Bible teaches? What if Jesus meant something very different by the concepts of heaven, hell, and salvation from how we've come to understand them?And what if the answer to life's meaning is much better than we ever imagined?In his teen edition of the bestselling book love wins, Rob Bell tackles all these questions in a way that addresses the real challenges of growing up in today's world. This is not just a book of questions and this is not just a book of answers.This is a book of exploration.This is a book of discovery.This is a book about why love wins.

I'll admit that I'm always up for a book like this when other Christians wag their tongues and shake their fingers at it. That was my initial reason for buying this one, a well known Christian blogger said "Love Wins for Teens? No thanks". I knew I just HAD to get my hands on it.Rob didn't pull any punches in this book for teens. He brought out all the tough questions many people ask about Christianity and the God that so many Christians describe. He covers the stark reality of free will, heaven, hell and the power God has given us to live in heaven on earth or hell on earth. While there may be some specific beliefs about the heaven or hell in the afterlife, there is a reality right here with us now that we need to stop ignoring. Rob describes the consequences of destructive living and offers the hope of restoration to God through Christ. He presents the hard truth about just how much freedom we have while making us painfully aware of what kinds of fruit our 'free will' can bring into our lives when we misuse it. For those who live in fear of the message Rob conveys to teens in this book: your fear is exactly why your teen needs to read this. Rob gives plenty of reasons to explore faith in God and inspires us to look at the Christian life with renewed vigor. I'm not one to favor youth groups, but if my teens were a part of one it would be one where the youth pastor reads this book and takes a long hard look at what kind of God they're introducing teenagers to.For those who criticize this book without reading it, you just make yourself look ridiculous to those of us who have read it. If I had the funds, I'd buy cases of this book and give it to every teen I know.
Great read! Am giving this to each teen in my youth group. Rob Bell's theology may not match the official theology of your congregation, but this book gets teens thinking and talking about faith. Most churches are losing their youth because the youth feel no connection to the faith taught and lived in the congregation. This book will do more to nurture the faith of your teens than all the sermons we give. It frankly asks questions teens have and Rob gives his answers - Even some "I don't know"s.
I thoroughly enjoyed LOVE WINS: FOR TEENS because it was a quick read and really speaks simply, openly, and honestly to young men and women, still new on their journies into adulthood. A couple of youth at the church I serve are borrowing it now!
Rob has made difficult concepts easy to understand. He deals with real issues in an honest way unrestricted by denominational and sectarian biais that challenges the many barriers to a real faith in a Loving God. all teens should read this
When I read Love Wins, it changed my life. Finally someone who understood the God of love as I do! So I was thrilled when I found the teen version. I gave it to my 14 year old daughter after she attended a youth group that preached the "turn or burn" message of salvation and she was confused and searching. She read it in one day and we had an awesome conversation about it. I highly recommend it for any searching teen...or parent!
I have a client that is anxiety stricken because she had doubts about her faith and she's scared of hell if she doubts. This book is a book of hope and promise and faith in a God that has total confidence in his plan to live his people into the kingdom.
My husband read the whole thing to my 7 year old and he loved it. Another really great Rob Bell book! Always progressive and critically thoughtful and grounded in Jesus!
Awesome book for teens OR adults. Challenges the old-time hellfire authoritarians with the unremitting, unrelenting, unstoppable love of God.
