Searching for Sunday by Rachel Held Evans is the book weÂll be talking about. The book will be available in the church office later this week and at coffee hour. We ordered them from Port Book and News and they gave us a 20% discount! We are so grateful and try to shop local when we can. The discounted cost including tax is $17.50.
Goodreads summarizes the book:
ÂLike millions of her millennial peers, Rachel Held Evans didn't want to go to church anymore. The hypocrisy, the politics, the gargantuan building budgets, the scandals--church culture seemed so far removed from Jesus. Yet, despite her cynicism and misgivings, something kept drawing her back to Church. And so she set out on a journey to understand Church and to find her place in it.
ÂCentered around seven sacraments, Evans' quest takes readers through a liturgical year with stories about baptism, communion, confirmation, confession, marriage, vocation, and death that are funny, heartbreaking, and sharply honest.
ÂA memoir about making do and taking risks, about the messiness of community and the power of grace, Searching for Sunday is about overcoming cynicism to find hope and, somewhere in between, Church.Â
