A Motivating Read

So I finished Rob Bell's book, "Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith". What a great book. Great because it not only prvided for some good reading and thinking, but it kept pointing me to an INCREDIBLY AWESOME God. After I finished it, I just wanted to read the Bible. And I did!
Books like that are few and far between...
Rob Bell tackles most of what's been on my heart this past year. Cultural context and judaic tradition, the Kingdom of God, what it means that God is restoring Creation unto Himself, social justice, evangelism, salvation, definitions of church, the challenges of being a disciple, heaven and hell. It's all there.
I'm sad I finished it so fast. What am I going to read now?
