How To Be Here

The popular pastor and New York Times best-selling 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 listeners to seek the lives they were created to lead.

Combining spiritual wisdom with practical life advice, international teacher and New York Times bestselling author of Love Wins and What We Talk About When We Talk About God, Rob Bell guides and inspires readers to discover the life they were meant to live.

He writes, “Life is not something that happens to you. You take what you have been given and you get to shape it, form it, steer it, make it into something. And you have way more power to do this than you realize. What you do with your life is fundamentally creative work: the kind of life you lead, what you do with your time, how you spend your energies—it’s all part of how you create your life. It’s all part of being here.”

The result is a refreshing and unique manual for finding purpose, joy, and meaning in your life, and wisdom for how to keep moving forward on your path. For the recent graduate or for anyone feeling stuck or unfulfilled, Rob Bell provides wise and spiritually rich advice that you will find yourself returning to again and again.
