Rachel Held Evans Bücher

Rachel steht mitten im Leben, ist verheiratet und macht beruflich Karriere. Die überzeugte Christin glaubt an Gott und liest regelmäßig in der Bibel. Trotzdem stand sie bisher eher auf Kriegsfuß mit der „Superfrau“ aus dem biblischen Buch der Sprichwörter. Als einige ihrer Freundinnen erklären, sie wollen „biblischer leben“, ihrer Karriere den Rücken kehren und häuslich werden, stimmt sie das nachdenklich. Ist das wirklich der richtige Weg, als Frau nach der Bibel zu leben? Rachel will es wissen und versucht ein Jahr lang, so biblisch wie möglich zu leben. Dabei nimmt sie so manche Passage wörtlich. Einige ihrer Maßnahmen scheinen absurd, andere genial. Auf ihrer Reise in die Vergangenheit dringt Rachel tief zum Kern biblischer Aussagen vor und entdeckt überraschend Zeitloses.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The late, beloved Rachel Held Evans answers many children's first question about God in this gorgeous picture book, fully realized by her friend Matthew Paul Turner, the bestselling author of When God Made You.Children who are introduced to God, through attending church or having loved ones who speak about God, often have a lot of questions, including this ever-popular one: What is God like? The late Rachel Held Evans loved the Bible and loved showing God's love through the words and pictures found in that ancient text. Through these pictures from the Bible, children see that God is like a shepherd, God is like a star, God is like a gardener, God is like the wind, and more. God is a comforter and support.And whenever a child is unsure, What Is God Like? encourages young hearts to "think about what makes you feel safe, what makes you feel loved, and what makes you feel brave. That's what God is like."

If the Bible isn't a science book, instruction manual, or position paper, then what is it? New York Times bestselling author Rachel Held Evans invites readers on a journey of rediscovery as she explores the magic of the Bible, engaging the old, familiar stories in new ways that honor the past and enlighten the present.

A touching series of essays exploring a path forward in Christianity beyond conservative evangelicalism. Despite her passing at 37, Rachel Held Evans's brave outlook is beautifully captured in this collection. Her prose is noted for its poetry, revealing a deeply funny, irreverent, curious, wise, forgiving, and nonjudgmental spirit. Recognized for her theologically astute and profoundly honest writings, Evans has inspired many Christians in their pursuit of a just and loving faith. At the time of her tragic death in 2019, she was working on a new book about wholeheartedness. With the help of close friend Jeff Chu, her unfinished work has been woven with other unpublished writings into a rich collection of essays. These writings pose candid questions about the narratives we’ve been told and those we create regarding faith, identity, and the world. This collection speaks to doubters, dreamers, seekers, and sojourners alike—those yearning for spiritual wholeness and those wounded by the Church yet unable to abandon the story of Jesus. Through theological reflection and personal recollection, Evans wrestles with God’s grace, examines the Church’s role, and delves into universal questions of becoming and belonging. An unforgettable, moving, and intimate exploration awaits readers.

The narrative invites children to explore the connection between God's story and their own lives, presenting it as a delightful adventure. It emphasizes that God's story is both vast, reaching across the globe, and intimate, residing within each person's heart. Parents and children will uncover the intertwining of divine and personal narratives, fostering a deeper understanding of faith and its relevance in everyday life.
