Rachel Held Evans is widely recognized for her theologically astute, profoundly honest, and beautifully personal books, which have guided, instructed, edified, and shaped Christians as they seek to live out a just and loving faith.

At the time of her tragic death in 2019, Rachel was working on a new book about wholeheartedness. With the help of her close friend and author Jeff Chu, that work-in-progress has been woven together with some of her other unpublished writings into a rich collection of essays that ask candid questions about the stories we’ve been told—and the stories we tell—about our faith, our selves, and our world.

This book is for the doubter and the dreamer, the seeker and the sojourner, those who long for a sense of spiritual wholeness as well as those who have been hurt by the Church but can’t seem to let go of the story of Jesus. Through theological reflection and personal recollection, Rachel wrestles with God’s grace and love, looks unsparingly at what the Church is and does, and explores universal human questions about becoming and belonging. An unforgettable, moving, and intimate book.

An amazing read (or listen in this case)!

This book was beautiful, encouraging, healing, thought-provoking, and life-giving. I loved the audio version because a wonderful group of people who knew and loved Rachel read portions of the book. It felt like a community experience celebrating this amazing woman’s life, curious and brilliant mind, loving heart, and commitment to truth and her faith. I highly recommend this book, and in particular the audiobook!

An excellent audiobook

What a special thing to hear RHE’s words brought to life by those who loved her.

cried my way through...RHE's last words will LAST

loved this. will listen again and again I'm sure. the words of RHE read by some of her dearest friends and family, who I am so thankful are continuing her legacy and teaching and leading in their own rights as well

powerful and poignant

This book is for anyone who has ever doubt their faith, questioned the church or sought out a deeper meaning of Christianity. With themes of belonging and inclusiveness, Rachel Held Evans reminds of the God you fell in love with, the that shows acceptance, compassion and unconditional love. This book reminds that you worthy of love and are called to love others.

Read this now. Another beautiful, honest, curious work by RHE.

Tears. The kind that come when someone finds a way to name things not yet named, hidden deep within your spirit.
