review 1: I love that this is 3X longer than the actual book. Aspects are very helpful for cultivating conversation. I am especially hopeful for anyone who may have read Love Wins, wants more, and discovered this companion. This will be extremely helpful to them as they, maybe for the first time, work through some big questions. This is a wonderful discussion guide. I recommend it, if not for everyone, at least for a the leader of a Love Wins book group... especially if they don't feel as confident leading discussions.
review 2: I was pretty underwhelmed with this. I suppose I was expecting more than it offered. My main complaint with Rob Bell's Love Wins was that it lacked a bibliography, so my assumption was that this study guide would provide that. It didn't. However,... more it did provide a lot more Scriptural references than the original volume did, which I appreciated, but it did not give us much in terms of pointing toward other resources beyond the excerpts in the chapters.Rob Bell doesn't really have much to do with this Companion. It's mostly short introductions by Bell followed by short reflections by David Vanderveen, some study questions, and then an essay exploring the various issues from different angles. Some of the essays are good, but others are merely chapters taken from other books such as Blue Like Jazz, Traveling Mercies, and How (Not) to Speak of God. The essays by Richard Mouw and Cathleen Falsani were good.My response to the Love Wins Companion is neither enthusiasm nor contempt. My response is merely a shrug with the acknowledgement that a year from now I probably won't remember having read it at all. less
