"There are so many things that Ilove about this book and I know you
will too. I love Sarah Bessey and true toform in Out of
Sorts she is transparent, vulnerable, thought provoking,and
gracious as she wrestles with things we have all wrestled with, or
one daywill. Her message of hope, love, and grace is stunning and
my heart resonatesdeeply with the thought that 'we need each other,
and we need to learn fromeach stream, because our stories don't
happen alone; our roots are all tangledtogether.'" -- Christine
Caine, founder of The A21 Campaign and Propel Women
"Honest, sober, and encouragingly relatable." -- Frank Viola,
co-author of The Day I Met Jesus
"This is the truth: Sarah is one of my very favorite writers. The
quality of her writing is so inspiring and beautiful and moving to
me. And her complicated dance with church and all its tentacles is
one that is familiar to so many of us. I love this book." -- Shauna
Niequist, author of Bread & Wine
"Sarah Bessey writes with the fire of a preacher and the soul of a
mother, critical thought without cynicism. Her deepest wounds have
come from the church and so has her deepest healing. This book is
for all of us who understand, we wonderers who long for Jesus and
distrust easy answers. Here Sarah is a brave and faithful guide as
we all learn to 'live the questions.'" -- Micha Boyett, author of
Found
"Touching a raw nerve in contemporary evangelical experience, Sarah
Bessey reflects on the inevitable reality of walking the path of
faith without having it all worked out-and at times having none of
it worked out. Thoughtful, compelling, moving, and real, Bessey
models a faith many are seeking but afraid to voice, a faith
released of the obligation to be certain. This is the kind of book
you'll want to read and tell friends about." -- Peter Enns, author
of The Bible Tells Me So
"Out of Sorts reads like a love letter to Jesus and to all
those desperate to see His true face. Through her indomitable
heart, brilliant mind, and vivid writing, Bessey sets an
extravagant, cozy table in the middle of the spiritual desert." --
Glennon Doyle Melton, New York Times bestselling author of Carry On
Warrior
"What you will find in these pages is nothing short of a gift.
There are plenty of us out here reimagining, rethinking,
reevaluating, restarting. You aren't alone....Thank you, my dearest
Sarah Bessey, for helping us find our way back home." -- Jen
Hatmaker, author of For the Love, 7, and Interrupted
"With refreshing honesty and engaging passion, Sarah Bessey reminds
us that cheap certitude is a poor substitute for genuine faith." --
Brian Zahnd, pastor and author of Farewell to Mars
