FULLER ALUM on SEXGOD
SEX and GOD are connected and so according to Fuller alumni Rob Bell, when we understand that sex and god are not opposites, but actually in relation to the very core of what it means to be human, we then begin to understand how "this" is really about "that". Rob's newest book "SEXGOD" is flying of the shelves (or amazon pages) and once again recovering a big gospel that places our humanity and its intimate expression in deep connection to our understanding and relationship with God.
Last Thursday evening a few Fuller friends and I cruised down to Sunset Boulevard to join in on a conversation Rob was hosting to promote his new book. UCLA was the fifth university campus stop on the six stop tour. It was an amazingly refreshing night.
Rob has such an unassuming candor and genuinely wants to engage. Nothing is off limits! So he promptly jumped out on stage and sat on a stool while fielding questions which led to more of a conversation for well over an hour. Then he stayed around and chatted for hours.
Here are some shots from the night. I am in the process of posting a multi-part review of his book on my personal blog into the subversion. I highly recommend the book and the newest NOOMA entitled "YOU".
