Church-Wide Lenten Read: Inspired by Rachel Held Evans


  • Highlands United Methodist Church 1045 20th Street South Birmingham, AL 35205 United States (map)

Drawing on the best in recent scholarship and using her well-honed literary expertise, Rachel Evans examines some of our favorite Bible stories, retelling them through memoir, original poetry, and short stories. 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.

Copies of the book are available for purchase ($15) in the Greeting Space, at the brick & mortar bookstore of your choice, or online at https://rachelheldevans.com/inspired.
