Rob Bell could be characterized as a young, hip and trendy preacher, media savvy and culturally alert. He is the founding Pastor of Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids Michigan which since its beginning's in 1999 now has a Sunday congregation of over 10,000.

He is best known for high quality DVD's entitled Nooma (a phonetic transliteration of the Greek word for "spirit"). These are 12-14 minute teaching resources. They are intended to be "visually stunning and emotionally compelling".

Much ink has already been spilt over Rob Bell's recent book Love Wins. The advanced publicity caused quite a stir, but I think that was the point. I have refrained from making comment on the book until I have read it, and I have also read quite a bit of blog comment subsequently.
