    About this audiobook

    In Out of Sorts, Sarah Bessey, award-winning blogger and author of Jesus Feminist, helps us grapple with core Christian issues using a mixture of beautiful storytelling and biblical teaching. 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.

      A wonderful book that reminds us that God can handle our tough questions, as well of the dangers of thinking we are the only ones who have God and His Word all figured out.
    • 5/5
      Such a great book for those in the midst of a faith crisis! This book was very encouraging to me and helped me feel like I wasn’t alone in my faith journey. As someone who asks questions, challenges injustice and has a huge love for god this book showed me that I didn’t have to give my faith up because it maybe doesn’t fit my home church.
    • 5/5
      This book was amazing! A true gem for anyone who is in the process of deepening their spiritual walk and relationship with Jesus. Sarah is so relational and you feel like she’s a dear friend.
    • 4/5
      This is an eclectic set of essays on challenging and resetting your faith journey. Poignant, frank, and beautifully written.
