Summary

Discover the new collection of original writings by Rachel Held Evans, whose reflections on faith and life continue to encourage, challenge, and influence, lovingly performed by Daniel Jonce Evans, Jeff Chu, Jamie Wright, Sarah Bessey, Nadia Bolz-Weber, Kristen Howerton, Kaitlin Curtice, Amanda Held Opelt, Rev. Neichelle R. Guidry, PhD, Candice Marie Benbow, Kathy Khang, the Rev. Wil Gafney, PhD, and Amena Brown.

Rachel Held Evans is widely recognized for her theologically astute, profoundly honest, and beautifully personal books, which have guided, instructed, edified, and shaped Christians as they seek to live out a just and loving faith.

At the time of her tragic death in 2019, Rachel was working on a new book about wholeheartedness. With the help of her close friend and author Jeff Chu, that work-in-progress has been woven together with some of her other unpublished writings into a rich collection of essays that ask candid questions about the stories we’ve been told - and the stories we tell - about our faith, our selves, and our world.

This book is for the doubter and the dreamer, the seeker and the sojourner, those who long for a sense of spiritual wholeness as well as those who have been hurt by the Church but can’t seem to let go of the story of Jesus. Through theological reflection and personal recollection, Rachel wrestles with God’s grace and love, looks unsparingly at what the Church is and does, and explores universal human questions about becoming and belonging. An unforgettable, moving, and intimate book.

What a beautiful book

Rachel’s wisdom, compassion and love is brought off the page with sorrow and love flowing through each narration.

If I heard nothing else through the tears, for me, for her, for her family and friends who rejoice and grieve; it is that I, she, they are beloved children of God. And, whether the days when I believe outnumber the days when I don’t, or not, that will ever be so.

Superb

Get the hankies ready for the afterword- it’s a tearjerker! A truly superb book. Yes, bits of it are repeated in Rachel’s other book but there is still so much good stuff in this book.
