The Exvangelicals: Loving, Living, and Leaving the White Evangelical Church by Sarah McCammon
4.25
i found this book deeply refreshing. i was raised catholic, and have struggled with my own journey of faith through the years. as someone who was not evangelical but also raised in a deeply fundamentalist and structured religious household, i found myself relating deeply to the stories compiled in this book.
i think mccammon does an excellent job of weaving the different stories and experiences together, in a way that is respectful and mindful of anyone reading, regardless of their own identity or faith. i admire the courage of people to speak up in these turbulent times, and the ability to express themselves so articulately in regards to a concept that is often larger than life.
i highly recommend this to anyone who is still religious, is questioning their own religious beliefs, or someone who left a while ago (and is wondering why they feel the way they do now—like myself). hell, i even recommend it to those who don’t believe in anything at all, and are wondering why anyone would believe in a higher power.
in short, god bless sarah mccammon. i’m glad you found your peace, and i hope others find it through your work. i’m sure your grandpa would be/is very proud of you.
