Short review. This is a good book about how faith should evolve and grow as you age. We all have questions that cause us to question our faith. The author's question is primarily about people that do not hear the gospel before they die, or about the fairness of God.

That question causes her to struggle through her faith to bring it to adulthood. This memoir is really about growing faith. The author is young (only 27) so there will likely be more questions of faith in her future.

I saw many examples of myself in her writing. This is well written and Rachel Held Evans did much to turn a standard story of growth into something more.
