If you have looked at the Bible closely and found the conflicting parts hard to reconcile, Rachel Held Evans is the person you need to read. Evans has grown up with the Bible and its stories; the Bible was her default setting for all of life as a child. But, as she grew older, the brutalities of the God-led battles along with the cruelties inflicted on women and slaves and other groups began to bother Evans more and more.

This is the story of Evans wrestling with God. It's clever and thoughtful and, above all, it's true. Evans encourages us all to wrestle with God along with her. It's a worthy task.
