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the help of her close friend and author Jeff Chu, that work-in-progress has been woven together with some of her other unpublished writings into a rich collection of essays that ask candid questions about the stories we've been told, and the stories we tell, about our faith, our selves,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.… (more)

Rachel Held Evans is a beautiful writer. She has a literary way of entering the Scriptures fully as herself, and invites us into the same.

In this book she brings her whole self, and demonstrates how to show grace to ourselves and even to our enemies. She pours love for the reader and the world into every page. Her final chapter, Telos, is beautiful and heartbreaking. A chapter on a complete life when hers was cut so short.

I read it too fast although I really tried not to. I want to read it again and again. ( )

I put off reading this because I thought it would make me cry, and I liked having one last thing by Rachel I hadn't read yet. It was beautiful and I did cry. I can't believe she is gone. ( )

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the help of her close friend and author Jeff Chu, that work-in-progress has been woven together with some of her other unpublished writings into a rich collection of essays that ask candid questions about the stories we’ve been told - and the stories we tell - about our faith, our selves,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.

We've read everything we could get our hands on by Rachel Held Evans. After her shockingly early death, we thought that would be it, but her voice continues in this collection of wisdom and challenge. ( )
  PhilipJHunt | Aug 25, 2022 |
I find this book to be a conundrum. Sometimes I felt Rachel was so far out of the box that I could not relate. Most of the time, however, I enjoyed her thoughts and deductions, her opinions and ideas, and her way of looking at different subjects that made me stop and ponder in ways I never have before. ( )
