I‘m listening to back episodes of a new-to-me podcast and came upon an interview with the departed Rachel Held Evans. 😢

“If there‘s one thing I know for sure, it‘s that faith can survive just about anything, so long as it‘s able to evolve.” In this her first memoir, Rachel Held Evans shares with refreshing honesty how her Christian faith evolved from having all the answers to asking all the questions. I can relate much more to her earnest doubt than to the false certainty of those who claim to have the last word on God. So sad she is gone, but this book is a gift.

alysonimagines P.S. I love that the original title of this book shared the name of Evans‘ blog, Evolving in Monkeytown. 🐵 5y

Reading this after the author's death has made me mourn her loss all the more. It is hard to believe this fiercely intelligent, compassionate, brave woman is gone. I have no doubt her work will live on to influence and comfort questioning believers for years to come. But I am heartbroken that we don't get to hear more from her. Her thoughts are so similar to mine and her books are a balm to my soul when I am restless and doubting.

megnews I felt the same way when I read Amy Krouse Rosenthal. She had already passed and I felt so sorry I‘d never get to read anything else by her 5y

Fellow RHE fans, did you see this? Crazy. She's a bit younger than me, I think, her little boy is still pretty young... Really keeping her in my prayers! There is no more recent update.

CBee I saw this yesterday 😢 Hoping they can figure out what‘s wrong. She‘s wonderful. 6y
MommyWantsToReadHerBook @CBee she is a kindred spirit. Really hoping they figure out the cause soon as well. 6y
CBee @MommyWantsToReadHerBook 🤞🏻🤞🏻♥️♥️ 6y

Trashcanman @MommyWantsToReadHerBook It matches my soul. 6y
MommyWantsToReadHerBook @Trashcanman oh George, I'm so sorry. Of course nothing I say can make a difference but sending you much love nevertheless. 6y
Trashcanman @MommyWantsToReadHerBook I appreciate your prayers, truly. Kindness is never meaningless. You are a kind soul and I'm thankful to know you. 6y
