New York Situations bestselling author Rachel Held Evans embarks on the quest to learn what it really means to be 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 taken off Jesus. Yet, despite her cynicism and misgivings, something kept drawing her back again to Church. Therefore she set out on a journey to understand Church also to find her place in it.

Focused around seven sacraments, Evans’ quest requires 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 energy of grace, Searching for Sunday is approximately overcoming cynicism to get hope and, somewhere among, Church.
