Searching for Sunday

New York Timesbestselling author Rachel Held Evans embarks on a quest to find out what it really means to be part of the Church. Like millions of her millennial peers, Rachel Held Evans didnt want to go to church anymore. The hypocrisy, the politics, the gargantuan building budgets, the scandalschurch 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 Sundayis about overcoming cynicism to find hope and, somewhere in between, Church.Additional ISBNs: 9780718022136, 0718022130
