About Quote by Rob Bell
“In our culture, Christians are known for a number of other things... Rarely do you hear people say, 'Oh yeah, those are the people who never stop talking about love. Oh a Christian church - that's where you go if feel beaten down and kicked and someone has their boot on your neck. You go there because it's a place of healing and a place of love.'”
