Valerie S. (VolunteerVal) -
I really connected with this book that's part memoir and part nonfiction exploration of the reasons people are leaving evangelical churches. As a lifelong Lutheran, this isn't fully my experience, but some aspects were similar to my childhood faith formation.
Ms. McCammon is uniquely qualified to write on the subject because her parents were devout members of an evangelical church, and she's a journalist reporting for National Public Radio. She grew up in Kansas City so I felt a connection as a fellow Midwesterner.
Blending personal experiences with facts and statistics kept me engaged in ways I haven't found in other books on the topic. The author's narration of the audiobook was like having an interesting conversation with a new friend.
The book includes a fair amount of political discussion so reader, know thyself.
Thank you to Macmillan Audio, Celadon Books, and NetGalley for the review copies of this thought-provoking book.
