Rachel wrote straight from her heart into mine. I appreciate her structure around the sacraments and practices of the universal church, explaining their historical and continuing relevance for 21st century Christians. By mingling her love and grief, respect and disappointment, tracing her own experience being raised in western evangelicalism, and calling for much needed changes, Rachel proves that religious deconstruction need not be an ugly end of a faith journey. As she puts it, some deaths are good deaths. And the God she believes in is one of resurrection, who calls his people to follow after his own pattern and "stand totally exposed before evil and death and declare them powerless against love."
