Searching for Sunday: Loving, Leaving, and Finding the Church by Rachel Held Evans

or a generation that has largely said, "count me out," church represents a complicated relationship of both longing and apathy. There's a history there--a past full of confusion and hurt, but a past that often is impossible to abandon. In Searching for Sunday, Rachel Held Evans exposes her own thorny relationship with the church, articulating the concerns, frustrations, and hopes of many of her peers. Through a series of stories told around the church's sacraments--baptism, confession, and communion, among others--Evans offers the beginnings of a road map back to church and the resurrection that awaits when we are willing to give up and begin again.
