Yesterday I submitted a final, much-revised manuscript for The Recovery-Minded Church: Loving and Ministering to People with Addictions (InterVarsity Press, 2015)—which hopefully means I can be back at this intersection between God and life at least a bit more often.

In the meantime, Rachel Held-Evans’ latest book Searching for Sunday: Loving, Leaving, and Finding the Church has been a welcome read for this restless soul. That review, which will appear in The Episcopal Digital Network’s online publication Sermons That Work, (which is managed by friend and fellow saint and sinner Jake Dell), uncovers just a few of the book’s many insightful contributions for those of us who find ourselves on the outskirts of church, struggling to understand our ambivalent feelings towards this more than 2,000-year-old institution. Stay tuned!
