Sin Bravely: A Memoir of Spiritual Disobedience by Maggie Rowe

As a former evangelical whose anxiety profoundly shaped — and is still shaped by — that faith, I identified with a whole hell of a lot in this book. I recognize my younger self (and hear faint echos of my current self) in Rowe's thought patterns. The subtitle is a little misleading, and I wish she would've expanded the story; she leaves off at a point that feels more like an opening than a closing, and hearing how her newfound ability to come to terms with her anxiety changed her view of the world and herself would've been helpful. Still, there's plenty of kindling for thought here for anyone who finds themselves at this particular intersection of brain chemistry, religion, and culture.
