NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From living rooms to church basements,
Sarah Bessey grew up amongst prayer circles filled with women from
diverse backgrounds who prayed in diverse ways. In A Rhythm of
Prayer she captures the spirit of those prayer circles, bringing
together a range of faith leaders, including Barbara Brown Taylor,
Amena Brown, Nadia Bolz-Weber and many more, to offer daily
inspiration for connecting with God. With thirty one original
prayers for every mood - tiredness, anger and sorrow as well as
hope, love and reconciliation - and journaling pages to add your
own prayers to the circle, this is not just a devotional book, but
a celebration of unique voices. It is also a warm, inviting
invitation to renew and revitalise your prayer life, ideal for
anyone who is looking for fresh ideas for prayer or for those just
starting to explore prayer for the first time. Filled with wisdom,
compassion and words of poetic beauty, A Rhythm of Prayer is a
Christian prayer book that provides spiritual nourishment and
guidance. It will leave you feeling connected to others who also
walk with God and less alone in difficult, uncertain times.
In Out of Sorts, Sarah Bessey-award-winning blogger and author of
Jesus Feminist, which was hailed as "lucid, compelling, and
beautifully written" (Frank Viola, author of God's Favourite Place
on Earth)-helps us grapple with core Christian issues using a
mixture of beautiful storytelling and biblical teaching, a style
well described as "narrative theology." As she candidly shares her
wrestlings with core issues-such as who Jesus is, what place the
Church has in our lives, how to disagree yet remain within a
community, and how to love the Bible for what it is rather than
what we want it to be-she teaches us how to walk courageously
through our own tough questions. In the process of gently helping
us sort things out, Bessey teaches us how to be as comfortable with
uncertainty as we are with solid answers. And as we learn to hold
questions in one hand and answers in the other, we discover new
depths of faith that will remain secure even through the storms of
life.
In her captivating, trademark weave of theology and memoir, Sarah
Bessey tells us the story of the car crash that changed her body
and how it ultimately changed her life. The road of healing led to
Rome where she met the Pope (it’s complicated) and encountered
the Holy Spirit in the last place she expected. Insightful,
profound, and unexpected, Miracles and Other Reasonable Things is a
wild, spirit-filled story of what it means to live with both grief
and faith, suffering and joy, as we wrestle with God.
Gender roles have been debated for centuries, and now Sarah Bessey
offers a clarion freedom call for all who want to realize their
giftedness and potential in the kingdom of God. Through a
thoughtful review of biblical teaching and church practices, Bessey
shares how following Jesus made a feminist out of her.
From New York Times bestselling author Rachel Held Evans: a
must-read for anyone on the journey of doubt, deconstruction, and
ultimately faith reborn. Eighty years after the Scopes Monkey Trial
made a spectacle of Christian fundamentalism and brought national
attention to her hometown, Rachel Held Evans faced a trial of her
own when she began to have doubts about her faith. In Faith
Unraveled, Rachel recounts growing up in a culture obsessed with
apologetics, struggling as her own faith unraveled one unexpected
question at a time. In order for her faith to survive, Rachel
realizes, it must adapt to change and evolve. Using as an
illustration her own spiritual journey from certainty to doubt to
faith, Evans challenges you to disentangle your faith from false
fundamentals and to trust in a God who is big enough to handle your
tough questions. In a changing cultural environment where new ideas
seem to threaten the safety and security of the faith, Faith
Unraveled is a profoundly moving, fearlessly honest, and
relentlessly hopeful story of survival. This book was previously
titled Evolving in Monkey Town.
