  Discover the new collection of original writings by Rachel Held Evans, whose reflections on faith and life continue to encourage, challenge, and influence, lovingly performed by Daniel Jonce Evans, Jeff Chu, Jamie Wright, Sarah Bessey, Nadia Bolz-Weber, Kristen Howerton, Kaitlin Curtice, Amanda Held Opelt, Rev. Neichelle R. Guidry, Ph.D., Candice Marie Benbow, Kathy Khang, the Rev. Wil Gafney, Ph.D., and Amena Brown.   
  Rachel Held Evans is widely recognized for her theologically astute, profoundly honest, and beautifully personal books, which have guided, instructed, edified, and shaped Christians as they seek to live out a just and loving faith. 
  At the time of her tragic death in 2019, Rachel was working on a new book about wholeheartedness. With the help of her close friend and author Jeff Chu, that work-in-progress has been woven together with some of her other unpublished writings into a rich collection of essays that ask candid questions about the stories we’ve been told—and the stories we tell—about our faith, our selves, and our world. 
  This book is for the doubter and the dreamer, the seeker and the sojourner, those who long for a sense of spiritual wholeness as well as those who have been hurt by the Church but can’t seem to let go of the story of Jesus. Through theological reflection and personal recollection, Rachel wrestles with God’s grace and love, looks unsparingly at what the Church is and does, and explores universal human questions about becoming and belonging. An unforgettable, moving, and intimate book.

  He was educated at the Quaker Bootham School in Yorkshire and Leighton Park School in Reading before university at Balliol College, Oxford.

  If God is really at work in our lives, how can we see His active involvement in our circumstances? Seasons: Stories of Loss, Light, Hope and Harvest tells the story of an ordinary woman who has taken faith steps that haven’t always turned out the way she envisaged. But what Celina Mina discovered is this: 
  When we apply to our inner world what nature’s seasons teach us, we begin to see that every situation, event, heartache, relationship and success leads to meaning, redemption and fulfilment. 
  Through vulnerable personal stories about grief, healing, calling, love and motherhood, combined with biblical teaching, Celina invites you on a journey to understand why we all need autumn’s loss, winter’s light, spring’s hope and summer’s harvest. 
  Reflection questions and practical tips are included at the end of the audiobook to enable listeners to apply the teaching to their own season of life. 
  Celina Evelyn Mina is a preacher, teacher and writer, and loves helping people apply biblical principles to everyday living. She is a part of the communication team at her local church, ARK CPH. Celina is a gifted communicator known for the way she unpacks Scripture and weaves personal stories into her messages to illustrate the relevance and power of the Bible in all areas of life. Based in Copenhagen, Denmark (but always an Aussie at heart!), Celina is married with two children and enjoys reading, going to concerts and exhibitions, being by the ocean, having meaningful conversations and drinking chai lattes. Seasons: Stories of Loss, Light, Hope and Harvest is her first book.
