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.

this book found me at the right place in the right time. for any who may find themselves in a spiritual wilderness, perhaps if you’re in the US as a response to the intense division under the umbrellas of “evangelical” and “Christian” this book challenged me to look at Jesus again. To read my Bible again. To show up fully to the life God has given me. (Yes, it’s true, the narration is really hard to get past but a few chapters in I was able to get used to it).

a warm compress on a weary heart

Sarah Bessey could be telling my story. It was so refreshing to hear her perspective of sorting through the evangelical past of her life and not rejecting it all but putting the pieces back together in a way that honors her tradition but also embraces the real message of Jesus. I loved it. It challenges me to not reject all of my evangelical heritage, but to find ways to weave my heritage into the knowledge I have now.

I loved this book!

Wonderful content read by a somewhat annoying narrator. Expressive and well done, but the narrator seems to be condescending at times.

However, the content was incredible. Lilting narrative and a cathartic tale made this worth the time to "read."

So glad I stuck with it

My heart resonated with Sarah Bessey’s words. I’ve been sorting my faith for several years...and yet with all the problems I am having with evangelicalism these days, my mantra remains”stay.”
Sarah is an old soul. If you a Boomer that grew up in the Jesus movement of the 60’s and 70’s you will get her!

Loved listening to this book. Comforting at the end of a long day. Like mini sermons, straight from the heart of a down to earth, happy clappy Christian. This book gave me permission and helped me make peace with my faith.

Warm and wonderful

This book gave me clarity on what I have been thinking and wrestling with for many years! I cried tears of relief and deep understanding of the journey God has asked me to go on with Him. I could never quite put my finger on it until I read this book. Itwas great to know that I was not alone.
