"Nadia Bolz-Weber is what you'd get if you mixed the DNA of Louis C. K., Joey Ramone, and Saint Paul."
-A. J. JACOBS, EOITOR-AT-LARGE, fS(/Mf AND AUTHOR OF THE YEAR OF LIVING BIBLICALLY
"A triumph in faithful storytelling. In just a few lines of description and dialog, Nadia Bolz-Weber manages to capture all that is beautiful and maddening and frightening about our shared humanity, including her own inconsistencies and struggles as a Jesus-loving sinner-saint. This is one of those rare books that will make you simultaneously wince with recognition and sigh with relief. A must-read for every screw-up and asshole caught up in God's grace."

-RACHEL HELD EVANS, AUTHOR OF A YEAH OF BIBLICAL WOMANHOOD AND SEARCHING FOB SUNOAY
"If Saint Augustine were to return to life and live among us now, he would be Bolz-Weber; and if his Confessions were to be written in twenty-first century rhetoric and style, they would be this book. Accidental Saints is what every Christian yearns to know is possible."
-PHYLLIS TICKLE, AUTHOR OF THE DIVINE HOURS AND THE GREAT EMERGENCE
"Nadia understands more than most that we are messed up people living in a messed up world with other messed up people. She gets the human condition. She refuses to sugar-coat the depth of her own desperation and need. And that's why she gets grace—our dire need for grace. She understands that God meets our messed-up-ness with his mercy over and over and over again. I couldn't put this book down."
— TULLIAN TCHIVIDJIAN, AUTHOR OF ONE WAY LOVE: INEXHAUSTIBLE GRACE FOR AN EXHAUSTED WORLD AND FOUNDER OF LIBERATE
"Nadia Bolz-Weber's new book is even tougher, sharper, and sweeter than Pastrix. In painfully honest stories, she pulls back the curtains of religious life to show how church— the actual, living body of God—is created among us. This is a book for everyone who
yearns to be made new." -SARA MILES, AUTHOR OF TAKE THIS BREAD AND CITY OF GOD
"This book made me so happy to be a Christian. Honest and funny, deep and insightful, Accidental Saints disarmed me and then, right when I was vulnerable, Nadia's words snuck
right in to mess with me." -SARAH BESSEY, AUTHOR OF JESUS FEMINIST AND OUT OF SORTS Vissza
