New York Times Bestseller“A touching series of essays in which Evans, with Chu’s invisible pen, explores how one might find a path forward in Christianity beyond conservative evangelicalism” -Eliza Griswold, The New Yorker“Evans died at 37, but a beautiful new book captures her brave outlook. . . . I could not help but notice the poetry in Evans’s prose. . . . What readers will find in these pages was someone deeply human: funny, irreverent, curious, wise, forgiving, nonjudgmental.” -Maggie Smith, The Washington PostA collection of original writings by Rachel Held Evans, whose reflections on faith and life continue to encourage, challenge, and influence. 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the help of her close friend and author Jeff Chu, that work-in-progress has been woven together with some of her other unpublished writings into a rich collection of essays that ask candid questions about the stories we’ve been told—and the stories we tell—about our faith, our selves, and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.

Bestseller del New York Times - Un libro que es tanto una sincera oda al pasado como una mirada esperanzada hacia el futuro de lo que significa ser parte de la Iglesia -Como miles de sus compañeras y compañeros millennials, Rachel Held Evans ya no quería ir a la iglesia. La hipocresía, la política, los gigantescos presupuestos de construcción, los escándalos: la cultura de la iglesia le parecía alejada de Jesús. Sin embargo, a pesar de su cinismo y recelos, algo la atraía de nuevo a la iglesia. Así es como emprendió un viaje para comprender y encontrar su lugar en ella. Centrada en siete sacramentos, la búsqueda de Evans lleva a los lectores a través de un año litúrgico con historias sobre el bautismo, la comunión, la confirmación, la confesión, el matrimonio, la vocación y la muerte, que son divertidas, desgarradoras y muy honestas. Un libro de memorias sobre arreglárselas y tomar riesgos, sobre el desorden de la comunidad y el poder de la gracia, Buscar el Domingo se trata de superar el cinismo para encontrar esperanza y, en algún punto intermedio, a la Iglesia.
