Searching for Sunday: Loving, Leaving, and Finding the Church by Rachel Held EvansMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed the concept of organization of this novel, but the different large sections did a mediocre job of actually separating out the ideas. The chapters read more as a series of articles or blog posts loosely joined together. That doesn’t mean they are not insightful, but this certainly isn’t a narrative to follow. Overall, the book gave me some good things to think about, but nothing earth-shattering. More than anything, it brought me some comfort to know that many of the critiques and judgments I have of the evangelical church are not unfounded. It’s nice to know that there are other believers taking a hard look at some of the issues facing the church today, and in that way, the book was encouraging. It’s a good read for those who are questioning the behavior of people who call themselves Christian, but probably an even better read for those who feel like they got this Christian thing down (although I doubt the people who need to read it actually would). I sincerely appreciate the call to authentic living and to unqualified love for the people around us.
