Star-Spangled Jesus: Leaving Christian Nationalism and Finding a True Faith by April Ajoy

4.0

funny informative reflective medium-paced

---

Books about christian nationalism tend to be very heavy to read. Rightly so, as it is a very serious topic. April Ajoy’s Star Spangled Jesus threads the needle between treating this topic with the seriousness it deserves while providing levity to the reader by including quizzes and references to a political memes. Star Spangled Jesus feels part memoir part confessional and lends an outreaching hand to any deconstructing evangelical who is reflecting on their church experience and thinking “What was I thinking?”

I would recommend this book if you have liked:
