Evolving in Monkey Town

Rachel Held Evans (RIP) first book was later released as "Faith Unraveled," a dubious title really. The original made sense (she grew up in Dayton, of Scopes Trial fame). Anyway, the first book has her voice but after a while seemed a bit stuffed. Plus, maybe at twenty-seven or so, it was a tad too young. Finally, at points, it was somewhat unconvincing. Her citation of Revelations regarding all nations being saved? Well, a segment. A lot will be damned.

Her second book has some of the same themes with more content (even pictures!) mixed with her "project." The third was one I couldn't get into; it was the most "insider" of the bunch. The fourth was shorter one, perhaps since it was written around children, but a worthwhile analysis of the Bible with special creative content. Her husband has a new statement at her website about an "evolving faith" event later this year that she had some part in. RIP, RHE. Her blog and Youtube vids are still there to help some.
