Rob Bell’s latest speaking tour The God’s Aren’t Angry is now coming to DVD. This is his second speaking tour (the first was Everything Is Spiritual) that was preceded with much buzz and anticipation.

I’ve been a fan of Rob’s for quite sometime. He has a great way of relating deep historical/spiritual material to us “normies”. I was unfortunately unable to attend this tour so I am especially looking forward to this release.

It is available now at thegodsarentangry.com for preorder. It will ship on June 6th. Needless to say mine has already been ordered. You should consider doing the same.

If you are interested, there are also previews and a link to the podcast which releases periodic clips from the DVD.

People are scared of the dark because they are afraid the “Boogeyman” might get them. There is “something” in the dark that will jump out get them. So they avoid being in the dark. If you stay out of the dark, there is no threat from the “Boogeyman”.
But what if you’re the “Boogeyman”? Would you be afraid of the dark? If so, what would you be afraid of? A bigger, badder “Boogeyman”?

Just because your job/hobby/tendancy is scaring people doesn’t make you less susceptible to being scared.

We are scared of relationships because they are afraid of the “Heartbreaker”. It becomes to give someone your heart if there’s a chance that it will be handed right back. So we avoid relationships (or at least deep ones). If you refrain from exposing your heart, then there is no threat from the “Heartbreaker”.
But what if you’re the “Heartbreaker”? Are you afraid of relationships? If so, what would you be afraid of? A bigger, badder “Heartbreaker”?

Just because you tend to be the “Heartbreaker” in a relationship doesn’t make you less susceptible to being heart broken.

Maybe just a little quicker to pull the trigger.

Those who love one another, or acquire strong attachments to persons and to forms of life, at the same time become liable to ruin: their love makes them hostages to misfortune and the injustice of others. Friends and lovers take great chances to help each other; and members of families willingly do the same. Once we love we are vulnerable.
