Description

A deeply reported and personal exploration of why many people are leaving white evangelical Christianity, this book traces the forces shaping faith, politics, identity, and belonging in contemporary America. Drawing on the author’s own experience and the stories of former evangelicals, it examines the emotional costs of departure as well as the possibility of rebuilding a life beyond a once-defining community. It offers insight into the movement’s relationship with power and politics while portraying those who leave with nuance, empathy, and compassion. Both memoir and cultural analysis, the book is an illuminating account of belief, doubt, family, and the search for a more authentic sense of self.
