NASHVILLE - Quarterback Ker stanley becher ry Collins is retiring from the NFL after 16 seasons in the league, his agent announced Thursday.

Contributed Photo by Macki Evans / Rachel Held Evans samba rose In the book s prologue, writer Rachel Held Evans describes the important role of the women in the Bible who said yes to faith, even when it was difficult or when there could be doubts. For better or for worse, there are seasons when we hold our faith, and then there are seasons when our faith holds us, Held Evans wrote. In those latter instances, I am more thankful than ever for all the saints, past and present, who said yes and whose faith sustains mine. They believe for me when I m not sure I believe. On Tuesday, about two and half years after Held Evans died suddenly at age 37 as the result of medical complications related to an infection, the final book by the beloved Christian writer will be released.Its arrival offers a spiritual salve for her followers, those hungry for more of the best-selling Christian author s perspective and voice that famously bucked evangelical trends and looked to build a more inclusive version of Christianity. For many, Held Evans has become the kind of Christian whose faith holds others.But for those closest to her, the book s release is bittersweet. crocs absatz The attention around Wholehearted Faith serves as another reminder of their loss.
