Description

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.

    I wish I had read this book in my early 30s. Packed with great practices, insights and tools to get out of the rut, remove the distractions and step into what is, ultimately, your part in the on-going human experience.
  • Well done Mr. Bell

    I feel challenged by this book to try to be present in every moment of my life and world. The challenge is not worry about others looking in to one's life and finding it mundane, routine, ordinary or even non-interesting. The challenge is to ignore this line of thought...This will be challenging for me.......but I'm going to try...........................

    I heard about Rob having a "heretic" view of things, but I decided to read the book for myself and take under consideration of what he is talking about.I ended up being very moved by the things he talked about. How we need to be here, be in the present and it's okay to slow down to enjoy life. Our society teaches us to constantly move and we get sucked into the earthly things. Enjoy this beautiful creation God has made us! God is amazing.
