Wholehearted Faith by Rachel Held Evans

hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

This is Rachel Held Evans' final book, and Jeff Chu did a beautiful job putting it together from her unfinished manuscript.  Her voice was maintained. It obviously wasn't the exact book she intended to publish, but it still managed to hold together as a single work and not a patchwork piece.
