Рейчел Эванс - все книги по циклам и сериям | Книги по порядку

From New York Times bestselling author Rachel Held Evans comes a book that is both a heartfelt ode to the past and hopeful gaze into the future of what it means to be a part of the Church.


Like millions of her millennial peers, Rachel Held Evans didn't want to go to church anymore. The hypocrisy, the politics, the gargantuan building budgets, the scandals--church culture seemed so far removed from Jesus. Yet, despite her cynicism and misgivings, something kept drawing her back to Church. And so she set out on a journey to understand Church and to find her place in it.

Centered around seven sacraments, Evans' quest takes readers through a liturgical year with stories about baptism, communion, confirmation, confession, marriage, vocation, and death that are funny, heartbreaking, and sharply honest.

A memoir about making do and taking risks, about the messiness of community and the power of grace, Searching for Sunday is about overcoming cynicism to find hope and, somewhere in between, Church.

Strong-willed and independent, Rachel Held Evans couldn't sew a button on a blouse before she embarked on a radical life experiment--a year of biblical womanhood. Intrigued by the traditionalist resurgence that led many of her friends to abandon their careers to assume traditional gender roles in the home, Evans decides to try it for herself, vowing to take all of the Bible's instructions for women as literally as possible for a year.

Pursuing a different virtue each month, Evans learns the hard way that her quest for biblical womanhood requires more than a "gentle and quiet spirit" (1 Peter 3:4). It means growing out her hair, making her own clothes, covering her head, obeying her husband, rising before dawn, abstaining from gossip, remaining silent in church, and even camping out in the front yard during her period.

See what happens when a thoroughly modern woman starts referring to her husband as "master" and "praises him at the city gate" with a homemade sign. Learn the insights she receives from an ongoing correspondence with an Orthodox Jewish woman, and find out what she discovers from her exchanges with a polygamist wife. Join her as she wrestles with difficult passages of scripture that portray misogyny and violence against women.

With just the right mixture of humor and insight, compassion and incredulity, A Year of Biblical Womanhood is an exercise in scriptural exploration and spiritual contemplation. What does God truly expect of women, and is there really a prescription for biblical womanhood? Come along with Evans as she looks for answers in the rich heritage of biblical heroines, models of grace, and all-around women of valor.

Bestseller del New York Times – Un libro que es tanto una sincera oda al pasado como una mirada esperanzada hacia el futuro de lo que significa ser parte de la Iglesia -Como miles de sus compa?eras y compa?eros millenials, Rachel Held Evans ya no quer?a ir a la iglesia. La hipocres?a, la pol?tica, los gigantescos presupuestos de construcci?n, los esc?ndalos: la cultura de la iglesia le parec?a alejada de Jes?s. Sin embargo, a pesar de su cinismo y recelos, algo la atra?a de nuevo a la iglesia. As? es como emprendi? un viaje para comprender y encontrar su lugar en ella.Centrada en siete sacramentos, la b?squeda de Evans lleva a los lectores a trav?s de un a?o lit?rgico con historias sobre el bautismo, la comuni?n, la confirmaci?n, la confesi?n, el matrimonio, la vocaci?n y la muerte, que son divertidas, desgarradoras y muy honestas.Un libro de memorias sobre arregl?rselas y tomar riesgos, sobre el desorden de la comunidad y el poder de la gracia, Buscar el Domingo se trata de superar el cinismo para encontrar esperanza y, en alg?n punto intermedio, a la Iglesia. «Evans ha escrito un libro muy ocurrente. Est? enraizada en las cosas profundas de la fe. Escribe con un estilo v?vido y traspone declaraciones de fe en narrativas persuasivas y concretas. Su libro es una invitaci?n vigorosa a reconsiderar que la fe ha sido mal entendida como un paquete de certezas en lugar de una relaci?n de fidelidad». Walter Brueggemann, Seminario Teol?gico de Columbia «Oh, Dios m?o, este es el mejor libro de Rachel hasta ahora —y esto es decir mucho. De manera honesta y esperanzadoramente ir?nica, Rachel habla por muchos de nosotros. Creo que sus palabras encarnizadas sanar?n muchas heridas. Un libro que debe leer todo aquel que ame a Jes?s pero que lucha con amar, comprender o encontrar su lugar en la Iglesia». Sarah Bessey, autora de Jes?s Feminista

Irgendwann f?llt es Rachel immer schwerer, sich in ihrer Gemeinde zu engagieren. In der Schulzeit als brennende Missionarin unterwegs, kommen ihr irgendwann Zweifel: Politisch fragw?rdige Ansichten, verurteilende und ausgrenzende Haltungen gegen?ber Randgruppen, religi?ser Starrsinn und die Scheu, sich offensichtliche Wahrheiten einzugestehen – Kirche scheint so weit von dem entfernt, was Jesus gelebt und gepredigt hat. Also macht sich Rachel auf die Reise, um zu verstehen, was sie eigentlich noch festh?lt – und wo sie vielleicht doch einen Platz in der Gemeinschaft der (Schein)Heiligen finden k?nnte …

Решительная и независимая девушка Рейчел не умеет пришить пуговицу на блузке и больше всего на свете обожает смотреть футбольные матчи, поедая жареные ребрышки. Но отчаянный характер заставил ее решиться на радикальный эксперимент над собой: целый год буквально следовать библейскому идеалу женщины. Мы знаем, что Библия требует от женщин быть скромной, кроткой и почтительной. Но суровых и даже странных правил для женщин там гораздо больше… Не стричь волосы? Вставать до рассвета? Самой шить себе одежду? Называть мужа «господин»?! За долгие 12 месяцев Рейчел ждало множество испытаний: жить в палатке на лужайке рядом с собственным домом,…
