Miracles and Other Reasonable Things: A Story of Unlearning and Relearning God by Sarah Bessey

5.0

I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher. I had been waiting for this book for what seems like forever and so receiving it early was delightful. It took me very little time at all to read as the story drew me in immediately and didn't let me go until the last page. Like the previous books she has written, Sarah continues to offer up deep spiritual wisdom with the gentle and firm voice of a good friend. As she shares her own life, she pulls back the veil to deeper and more universal truths about God, spirituality and what it means to be human. Sarah's bold honesty about both her assurance and her doubt allow the reader the safety to admit and wrestle with their own struggles as they read. This book is both the Miracle this reader needed and the reasonable truth that it presents. The book is comforting and uncomfortable, it deals in the beautiful parodoxes of faith. Sarah grasps the complexity of faith and doubt and with her words brings the two together to form a beautiful book. I will definitely be reading this again and recommending to many people I care about.
