- HERETIC is part memoir, part examination of how evangelical culture and beliefs have impacted every part of American life.
- I didn't grow up in a specifically evangelical church, but having been a teenager in church/America in the 1990s-2000s, all this stuff was simply in the air, and reading this book felt both enlightening and cathartic.
- I also appreciated that this book touched on how hard it can be to find community outside churches in this country, and Kadlec's search for both welcoming congregations and secular fellowship.
