Out of Sorts: Making Peace with an Evolving Faith by Sarah Bessey
5.0
Sometimes you pick up a map to plot a course to your destination. Other times, you find yourself somewhere, and you turn on your GPS to get confirmation that you aren’t lost. Just to make sure. Because you haven’t come exactly in this neighborhood from this direction before, but you are pretty sure you recognize the street names and some of the landmarks. Out of Sorts is like a map book for me. With every chapter, I saw where I have been but from a slightly different angle.
My relationship with the Body of Christ has grown more and more into a journey, rather than a destination. Out of Sorts is a journey story and in the pages I found a companion walking alongside me.
Out of Sorts is not a how-to book. It is not a devotional book. It is not an exercise in theology or Bible study. It will not give you black and white - because SB respects her readers and Jesus so much. Through the chapters of Out of Sorts, I got to witness Sarah Bessey’s wholehearted and honest journey with God and his Body.
Sarah Bessey writes her journey in such a way that you get glimpses of yourself and your own journey in the words and the white-space. You will laugh and you will cry. Sometimes you will feel exposed and other times you will feel drawn into tender comfort. I can’t recommend this book enough.
