Book Description

One Woman’s Journey Back to Loving the Bible

If the Bible isn’t a science book or an instruction manual, then what is it? What do people mean when they say the Bible is inspired? When Rachel Held Evans found herself asking these questions, she began a quest to better understand what the Bible is and how it is meant to be read. What she discovered changed her—and it will change you too.

Drawing on the best in recent scholarship and using her well-honed literary expertise, Evans examines some of our favorite Bible stories and possible interpretations, retelling them through memoir, original poetry, short stories, soliloquies, and even a short screenplay. Undaunted by the Bible’s most difficult passages, Evans wrestles through the process of doubting, imagining, and debating Scripture’s mysteries. The Bible, she discovers, is not a static work but is a living, breathing, captivating, and confounding book that is able to equip us to join God’s loving and redemptive work in the world.

My Review

I am a great admirer of Rachel Held Evans. I already knew I would love this book before I read it. I am very inspired by her words and her wisdom.

Inspired  Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again by Rachel Held Evans is a must read for all Christians. As a woman I found it very powerful and encouraging. 

Many of us are less than impressed with the direction the churches are going in. Rachel takes us back to the bible and lets us fall in love with it again! For those of us questioning things right now, Rachel gives us a fresh perspective. 

Great read! Highly recommend  Inspired  Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again By Rachel Held Evans.
