Thankful to Sarah Bessey for an insightful, hope-bearing book for those of us wandering in unfamiliar places. I learned more about what it means to be human on this pilgrimage of evolving faith. I feel understood and so seen, and realize how common some of our experiences can be, especially when it comes to church hurt. This is a book I'll come back to again and again.

This book will help you mature in your faith. Like Sarah Bessey, the circumstances of my life have led me to reevaluate many things related to Christianity.

What Bessey excels at is getting you to ask questions you had formerly dismissed: maybe it's not a bad thing to doubt, or to pray, or to desire justice. Maybe a Christian can also be a feminist. Maybe the goodness we've sensed in Jesus is even calling us to some of these reconsiderations.

I highly recommend this, especially to someone who (unlike myself, actually) feels locked into Western conservative evangelicalism but senses more to Christianity than that.

(I received a free copy of this book through NetGalley)
