kbratten 's review for:

A Year of Biblical Womanhood by Rachel Held Evans

4.0

---

Sometimes stuck in the weeds (Do I need to play by play of making bread?), often cherry-picking from various religious traditions in a way that you could argue compromises her whole purpose. But if on the whole, very thoughtful and positive. She calls out without feeling too critical, bears witness without being too preachy, inspires and encourages without being too self-important. I like Rachel Held Evans's approach of treating your faith as something to practice and interrogate. It's the anniversary of her death today, and I'm struck by how the world really is worse off without more voices like hers in the world.
