It’s going to take me awhile to form a coherent review. This is an incredibly well-researched, eye-opening book like nothing I’ve read about Evangelicalism before.

As someone who has grown up sort of on the fringes of evangelical Christianity in America and as someone who is perplexed by the evangelical obsession with Donald Trump, I felt this was an important book for me to read. I did not expect it to be as challenging as it was. To me, at times this book felt pretty dry and dense and I found myself zoning out. I was just bored at times. In spite of this, I feel like this is an important book for any evangelical Christian to read and it is well worth the time and effort required to read it.
Minor: Body shaming, Domestic abuse, Emotional abuse, Homophobia, Infidelity, Misogyny, Racism, Rape, Religious bigotry, Sexism, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Toxic relationship, and Transphobia
