Searching for Sunday

Posted on 07 November 2018 by Rachel Held Evans

FromNew York Times bestselling author Rachel Held Evans comes a book that is both a heartfelt ode to the past and hopeful gaze into the future of what it means to be a part of the Church.Like millions of her millennial peers, Rachel Held Evans didn t want to go to church any The hypocrisy, the politics, the gargantuan building budgets, the scandals church culture seemed so far removed from Jesus Yet, despite her cynicism and misgivings, something kept drawing her back to Church And so she set out on a journey to understand Church and to find her place in it.Centered around seven sacraments, Evans quest takes readers through a liturgical year with stories about baptism, communion, confirmation, confession, marriage, vocation, and death that are funny, heartbreaking, and sharply honest.A memoir about making do and taking risks, about the messiness of community and the power of grace, Searching for Sunday is about overcoming cynicism to find hope and, somewhere in between, Church.
