Rachel weaves her stories around the seven sacraments. (Are you from a low church background like me? I didn't know all seven. They are: baptism, communion, confirmation, confession, marriage, vocation, and death.) Having so little experience with sacraments, I was a little skeptical about this arrangement. But I found myself underlining and nodding my head and tearing up and wanting to shout AMEN in each of the chapters! Her writing is so warm, her depth of insight so profound, her stories so funny (does anyone else remember playing "chubby bunny" in youth group?), that I devoured this book in about a weekend.
For those of you who struggle with church, with Christians, with doubt, who feel like you never fit in on Sunday mornings, who wonder what is the point of it all... Rachel Held Evans' new book will speak words of hope, truth, and promise right to your heart! You can order yours here.
