As a recently former Evangelical, this explains a whole lot of things that have bothered me for a long time. I kept hoping I could make a difference and make people really listen to the words of Jesus. But every time my family and I tried, we became ‘dangerous' and were bullied out of the church. I thought it was just churches where we live, but I see it is much larger than that. This book was so hard to listen to. I couldn't have finished it if I was reading it. I feel really lucky that I have only been given the cold shoulder a few times by churches because as I see in this book, it could have been so much worse. Sad and scary, but also it affirms my decision to become an ex-evangelical Christian.
