Wholehearted Faith by Rachel Held Evans
5.0
I may have sobbed through the last bit of this book. The loss of Rachel's voice is a big one. I love how bold she was to stand for faith, for women, for love, for each person's journey despite being ridiculed and ostracized by the religion of her youth. So with that, I encourage you to read this book and allow yourself to ask all the questions.
“Acknowledging uncertainty doesn't make a person less faithful; it just makes her more honest. Admitting how much we don't know doesn't make a person less faithful; it just makes him more candid - and perhaps more curious. Anne Lamott has chronicled the meanderings of the heart as well as anyone, and as she famously puts it, " The opposite of faith is not doubt, but certainty.”
