Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation by Kristin Kobes Du Mez

challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

If you want an in depth analysis of how Evangelicalism doesn’t just affect those who have deconstructed from the faith, but every aspect of our lives from politics, pop culture, and even places we shop. This is a book you need to pick up Kristin Kobes Du Mez dives deep into the world of Evangelicalism, and it’s leaders. Was this book difficult to read at times? Yes was it shocking the amount of power these people hold over so many aspects of main stream culture? Yes but it is well worth the read or listen to know just how Evangelicalism thrives.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 63%.

I really wanted to love this book, but I just did not connect with the writing style. I also did not enjoy the characters in this book, I will say this book has some tropes that some will love or hate this book would be great for someone it just wasn’t for me.

Shon has quickly become one of my favorite indie authors, each character and story in this series just seem to get better and better. This by far is my favorite of the series Ryann and Sebastian’s chemistry is so immersive and from their very first interaction you want them to be together, not to mention the banter between these two is just phenomenal. I did not want their story to end.
