Reviews
"Honest, sober, and encouragingly relatable."--Frank Viola, co-author of The Day I Met Jesus
"This is the truth: Sarah is one of my very favorite writers. The quality of her writing is so inspiring and beautiful and moving to me. And her complicated dance with church and all its tentacles is one that is familiar to so many of us. I love this book."--Shauna Niequist, author of Bread & Wine
"Sarah Bessey writes with the fire of a preacher and the soul of a mother, critical thought without cynicism. Her deepest wounds have come from the church and so has her deepest healing. This book is for all of us who understand, we wonderers who long for Jesus and distrust easy answers. Here Sarah is a brave and faithful guide as we all learn to 'live the questions.'"--Micha Boyett, author of Found
"Touching a raw nerve in contemporary evangelical experience, Sarah Bessey reflects on the inevitable reality of walking the path of faith without having it all worked out--and at times having none of it worked out. Thoughtful, compelling, moving, and real, Bessey models a faith many are seeking but afraid to voice, a faith released of the obligation to be certain. This is the kind of book you'll want to read and tell friends about."--Peter Enns, author of The Bible Tells Me So
"With refreshing honesty and engaging passion, Sarah Bessey reminds us that cheap certitude is a poor substitute for genuine faith."--Brian Zahnd, pastor and author of Farewell to Mars
"There are so many things that Ilove about this book and I know you will too. I love Sarah Bessey and true toform in Out of Sorts she is transparent, vulnerable, thought provoking, and gracious as she wrestles with things we have all wrestled with, or one daywill. Her message of hope, love, and grace is stunning and my heart resonatesdeeply with the thought that 'we need each other, and we need to learn fromeach stream, because our stories don't happen alone; our roots are all tangledtogether.'"--Christine Caine, founder of The A21 Campaign and Propel Women
"Out of Sorts reads like a love letter to Jesus and to all those desperate to see His true face. Through her indomitable heart, brilliant mind, and vivid writing, Bessey sets an extravagant, cozy table in the middle of the spiritual desert."--Glennon Doyle Melton, New York Times bestselling author of Carry On Warrior
"What you will find in these pages is nothing short of a gift. There are plenty of us out here reimagining, rethinking, reevaluating, restarting. You aren't alone....Thank you, my dearest Sarah Bessey, for helping us find our way back home."--Jen Hatmaker, author of For the Love, 7, and Interrupted
"[Bessey] creates a loving, inviting environment from which readers can approach their own questions, beliefs, and maturity."--CBA Retailers & Resources
"Bessey offers a good forum for Evangelical Christians to question what they believe without getting bent out of joint."--Library Journal
"Charming, beautifully expressive"--Publishers Weekly
