If you want an in depth analysis of how Evangelicalism doesn’t just affect those who have deconstructed from the faith, but every aspect of our lives from politics, pop culture, and even places we shop. This is a book you need to pick up  Kristin Kobes Du Mez dives deep into the world of Evangelicalism, and it’s leaders. Was this book difficult to read at times? Yes was it shocking the amount of power these people hold over so many aspects of main stream culture? Yes but it is well worth the read or listen to know just how Evangelicalism thrives.

 At times nauseating, I ultimately think this is a must-read for understanding the United States today. This treatise establishes facts and presents a comprehensive explanation of how masculinity has been especially twisted over the past century to the point of electing Donald Trump. It's tough to swallow, but it feels like a large chunk of the population are living in a completely different established reality, even in my own backyard.

It’s hard to formulate thoughts on this one right now. An important read. 

Sharing a massive trigger warning for the last chapter, which examines the church’s failure to prevent, respond to, and protect sexual victimization of children and women in the church. Even working extensively (8+ years, heavily focused on trauma and primarily on childhood sexual abuse) with this subject, this chapter was triggering and overwhelming to me. And one point I had to just put it away for a while. Take good care, especially if you have sexual trauma with or without religious trauma.
