Evolving in Monkey Town: How a Girl Who Knew All the Answers Learned to Ask the Questions by Rachel Held Evans

3.0

Enjoyed most the description of Evans's childhood in her evangelical community. Her later epiphanies, for those of us who've ended up in the more progressive/mainline churches, to me seemed well-traveled territory (though perhaps not so for evangelicals).

Kate Bowler, whose writing is somewhat similar to Evans's, pointed out today (the anniversary of Held Evans's death) that the author became a preacher in a community that doesn't often let women lead, doing just that through her writing. Food for thought.
