Thank you for giving us skeptics the freedom we do desperately need!

Rachel has a way of speaking to the hearts of those of us who were taught to fear doubt and shamed to have questions. The fact that she is no longer with us breaks my heart but her thoughts shall live on through her grace filled books.

super relatable

I was raised in a Christian home and a lot of what she talks about hit the nail on the head. There were so many times when it felt like she was talking about my own life, especially in how she felt like no one else around her were bothered by the same things she was. I'm thankful I currently have good friends that would recommended a book like this to me.

The ball of confusion in my head, put into words

There is still a lot that I'm not clear on, so I will be reading/listening to this book again and diving deeper, but I was extremely happy to know that I'm not the only one who has many questions. I particularly like that the author still has faith. I also liked that the author came from a family of faith and was very knowledgeable so it wasn't theory or popular opinion. I really think she has to be a genius to have expressed her thoughts and questions so eloquently. Highly recommended.

RHE is good for the soul

Life often feels hard and messy and for me lately, faith has not been as solid an anchor to cling to. Rachel never fails to calm my chaotic spirit and bring me back to peace. This book is no exception and gave me comfort in my heartache and doubt. She always reminds me that it’s ok to have questions and sometimes the answers are less important than the seeking.

exceeded expectations

I love books that are read by the author. the performance of the author here only added to the enjoyment of this audiobook. she is able to articulate things that I have not been and put language to concepts that have been circling my head for years.

Highly recommended

This is an absolutely stunning book that I couldn’t stand to put down. When it was over I wished there was more. Beautifully written and perfectly told!

Eye Opening

This book sat in my library, unread, for about a year. Because while it looked interesting. She seemed a little radical and i wasn’t sure i could understand her point of view. But i was so wrong. Her search to understand faith has enrichment my life. While i might not agree with everything she says, it was easy to understand her point. And reading this book gave me the freedom to open my heart a little more to what Gods purpose for us. And I feel that I understand more then ever what my purpose is.

Recharging my faith

I discovered Rachel Held Evans books very recently and apparently just in time. I have wondered for most of my adult life - can one be a Christian if they don’t believe homosexuality is a sin or believe that only Christians go heaven & everyone else goes to hell? All of these questions & more Rachel brings to the table with humility & humor. So grateful to have found her!

not a bad start

her later books (Searching for Sunday & Inspired) are more well written and provide a better idea of where she eventually ends up, but Faith Unravelled is an interesting look at the early part of Rachel's journey
