I am reviewing a copy of Wholehearted Faith through HarperOne and Netgalley:
Rachel Held Evans was 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.
When Rachel Held Evans died at the young age of 37 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the help of her close friend and author Jeff Chu, that work-in-progress has been woven together with some of her other unpublished writings into a rich collection of essays that ask candid questions about the stories we’ve been told—and the stories we tell about our faith, our selves, and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.
Wholehearted Faith is for the doubter, dreamer, 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.
I give Wholehearted Faith five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
