As someone who has grown up sort of on the fringes of evangelical Christianity in America and as someone who is perplexed by the evangelical obsession with Donald Trump, I felt this was an important book for me to read. I did not expect it to be as challenging as it was. To me, at times this book felt pretty dry and dense and I found myself zoning out. I was just bored at times. In spite of this, I feel like this is an important book for any evangelical Christian to read and it is well worth the time and effort required to read it.
Minor: Body shaming, Domestic abuse, Emotional abuse, Homophobia, Infidelity, Misogyny, Racism, Rape, Religious bigotry, Sexism, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Toxic relationship, and Transphobia
