GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - Controversial author and Grandville pastor Rob Bell signed copies of his newest book, "Love Wins" on Sunday at Woodland Mall.

He spoke in front of hundreds and answered questions from people of all different ages and religions. Bell was at the mall for about one hour.

Some lined up about an hour and a half before Bell was set to speak.

The recently released book centers around the idea of hell -- as in, whether or not it exists.

Bloggers called the Mars Hill Bible pastor a heretic as the book prepared to hit shelves. The buzz was so big, CNN covered the story and Bell was one of the top ten trending topics on Twitter in early March.

Watch the video to hear what Bell had to say.
