I'm listening to "Velvet Elvis".

Has anyone read or heard this book by Rob Bell of Mars Hill Church in Grand Rapids?

IIRC it's also a good Weird Al Yankovic song

Review: Velvet Elvis

According to Bell, this is what has happened to the Christian church—the church has bought into the fact that Christianity as we know and experience it is a painting that can neither be changed nor altered. And Bell wants that idea to change. This book, then, is for those who are also wrestling with the true definition of church, and of Christianity. It is a book for those “who need a fresh take on Jesus and what it means to live the kind of life he teaches us to live” (14). It is his “Velvet Elvis,” his “repainting of the Christian faith.”
