Velvet Elvis is Rob Bell's original and best-selling book which invites readers to wrestle with their faith, encouraging us to look upon Christianity with a new perspective.

"We have to test everything. Do that to this book. Don't swallow it uncritically. Think about it. Wrestle with it. Just because I'm a Christian and I'm trying to articulate a Christian worldview doesn't mean I've got it nailed. I'm contributing to the discussion. God has spoken, and the rest is commentary, right?" - Rob Bell, taken from Velvet Elvis.

Velvet Elvis launched Rob Bell into the lime-light of Christian media. His chatty writing style and clever use of storytelling captured a young audience and made them think, discover and dream the gospel all over again.

Connecting powerful metaphors and clever sound-bites, this book inspired our Christian communities to repaint the Christian faith for themselves. Now, perhaps even more relevant than before, it has the potential to the same to a new audience.

After Rob Bell's controversial book 'Love Wins', he has stepped down from leading Mars Hill Church to focus more on touring, writing and speaking. He seeks to communicate to bigger, broader audiences than ever before. Other best-selling Rob Bell titles include 'Sex God', 'Velvet Elvis' and 'Jesus Wants to Save Christians'.
