Synopsis

The popular pastor and New York Times bestselling author of Love Wins and What We Talk About When We Talk About God shows us how to pursue and realize our dreams, live in the moment, and joyfully do the things that make us come alive.Each of us was created for something great—we just need to figure out what it is and find the courage to do it. Whether it’s writing the next great American novel, starting a business, or joining a band, Rob Bell wants to help us make those dreams become reality. Our path is ours and ours alone to pursue, he reminds us, and in doing so, we derive great joy because we are living our passions.How to Be Here lays out concrete steps we can use to define and follow our dreams, interweaving engaging stories, lessons from biblical figures, insights gleaned from Rob’s personal experience, and practical advice. Rob gives you the support and insight you need to silence your critics, move from idea to action, take the first step, find joy in the work, persevere through hard times, and surrender to the outcome.Like Stephen Pressfield’s classic The War of Art, How to Be Here will inspire readers to seek the lives they were created to lead.

Goodreads review by Kris on February 22, 2019

This would have been an excellent essay, but there is not enough here to call it a book. It is repetitive and overly simplistic. I like the ideas, but there are much better ways to get to them. 2.5 stars.......more

Goodreads review by Sophie on July 20, 2016

I read this book in a day - couldn't put it down. Rob Bell always writes in such an engaging way. His gift of communicating complicated ideas to the masses is unparalleled. This book takes common life themes (such as failure, success, life purpose, etc.) and deconstructs them, carefully shedding lig......more

Goodreads review by Camden on April 24, 2017

Perfectly average. Short and easy to read like all his books. A collection of stories, metaphors, and examples about living in the present and following your purpose. No practical or concrete advice about how to do this.......more

Goodreads review by BJ on May 14, 2018

In one of the early chapters of this book Rob Bell talks about how he got an idea for a book and put it on an index card. As time went by over the course of the next year or two he would get another "idea", or "insight", or "inspiration", and he would add it to his growing collection of index cards.......more
