Shortly, I will be receiving a review
copy of "God's Favorite Place on Earth" by Frank Viola. The book released May
1st and stayed in the top # 50 on Amazon.com for 8 straight days. There's a lot
of buzz about this book on the Web, and I'll be writing a review after I read
it.
Here are a few interesting nuggets about the book.
* It's been recommended by 47 Christian authors, including John Ortberg,
Jack Hayford, Leonard Sweet, Tricia Goyer, Mary DeMuth, Greg Boyd, Todd Hunter,
Jon Acuff, and many others.
* There is an interesting video trailer for the book that introduces
it.
* The book tells the story of Jesus in the little village of Bethany and
the amazing things that happened there through the eyes of Lazarus. It combines
biblical narrative, dramatization, theological insights, and nonfiction
devotional teaching. It argues that "Bethany" was God's Favorite Place on Earth
and explains how every Christian and every church can be "Bethanies" today for
God.
* The book addresses 18 specific struggles that Christians face today and
offers hope, challenge, and fresh insight.
