On Wednesday, Penguin Random House announced that Rachel Held Evans had begun work on a children’s book that would answer the sort of questions kids have about God. Evans tragically passed in 2019, before she was able to finish the book, but her early drafts were carried to completion by her friend and fellow writer Matthew Paul Turner. Illustrations were added by UK-based artist Ying Hui Tan and now,
What Is God Like? is available for pre-order. The announcement was made via a short Zoom chat with some of Evans’ friends like Jeff Chu, Sarah Bessey, Austin Channing Brown, Jen Hatmaker and Nadia Bolz-Weber. It is, as you might expect, awfully emotional.

Good morning folks!
MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. - No business can master a drive-thru like Chick-fil-A, and a restaurant manager is getting high praise for using the company’s method to help workers at a COVID-19 vaccination site after a computer glitch caused a traffic gridlock.
Mayor Will Haynie said he was notified on Jan. 22 that traffic was backed up for an hour at the COVID-19 vaccination site at Seacoast Church. He called Chick-fil-A Manager Jerry Walkowiak for help, knowing the company had a great reputation for mastering the art of drive-thru.
The theory is a good deal more graphic and horrible than we can get into here, but in 2018, someone alluded to it on Greene’s Facebook page. “Yes Familia,” Greene responded. “I post things sometimes to see who knows things. Most the time people don’t. I’m glad to see your comment. I’ve decided it’s time to start doing a lot more videos and engage further in the fight. Most people honestly don’t know so much. The [mainstream media] disinformation warfare has won for too long!”
Is that the wildest conspiracy Greene has endorsed? Probably, but you also have to consider the fact that she once wrote a lengthy Facebook post theorizing that the 2018 California wildfires were started by a Democrat-controlled laser beam from outer space. That was in 2018.
