Resumen del Editor

This program is read by the author.

"An intimate window into the world of American evangelicalism. Fellow exvangelicals will find McCammon’s story both startlingly familiar and immensely clarifying, while those looking in from the outside can find no better introduction to the subculture that has shaped the hopes and fears of millions of Americans."—Kristin Kobes Du Mez, New York Times bestselling author of Jesus and John Wayne

The first definitive book that names the massive social movement of people leaving the church: the exvangelicals.

Growing up in a deeply evangelical family in the Midwest in the ‘80s and ‘90s, Sarah McCammon was strictly taught to fear God, obey him, and not question the faith. Persistently worried that her gay grandfather would go to hell unless she could reach him, or that her Muslim friend would need to be converted, and that she, too, would go to hell if she did not believe fervently enough, McCammon was a rule-follower and—most of the time—a true believer. But through it all, she was increasingly plagued by fears and deep questions as the belief system she'd been carefully taught clashed with her expanding understanding of the outside world.

After spending her early adult life striving to make sense of an unraveling worldview, by her 30s, she found herself face-to-face with it once again as she covered the Trump campaign for NPR, where she witnessed first-hand the power and influence that evangelical Christian beliefs held on the political right.

Sarah also came to discover that she was not alone: She is among a rising generation of the children of evangelicalism who are growing up and fleeing the fold, who are thinking for themselves and deconstructing what feel like the “alternative facts” of their childhood.

Rigorously reported and deeply personal, The Exvangelicals is the story of the people who make up this generational tipping point, including Sarah herself. Part memoir, part investigative journalism, this is the first definitive book that names and describes the post-evangelical movement: identifying its origins, telling the stories of its members, and examining its vast cultural, social, and political impact.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"With sensitivity and candor, Sarah McCammon offers readers an intimate window into the world of American evangelicalism. Fellow exvangelicals will find McCammon’s story both startlingly familiar and immensely clarifying, while those looking in from the outside can find no better introduction to the subculture that has shaped the hopes and fears of millions of Americans. Filled with humor, insight, and hard-earned wisdom, The Exvangelicals is a gift to all who find themselves on a spiritual journey."—Kristin Kobes Du Mez, New York Times bestselling author of Jesus and John Wayne

"No one else could have written The Exvangelicals but Sarah McCammon. The way she seamlessly weaves together her own journalistic expertise and deeply personal experience of leaving evangelicalism to explore this moment in American history is stunning. Immediately after reading this book, I found myself already excited for her next one."—Nadia Bolz-Weber, New York Times bestselling author of Accidental Saints

"The Exvangelicals is a sensitive, informed exploration of what is often most personal and perplexing to us—our faith. McCammon takes the scramble of thoughts, feelings, and fears that characterize this era of religious re-examination and makes them legible. This isn't just a book about what evangelicalism has become, it is also about the ways people are trying to find what comes next."—Jemar Tisby, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of The Color of Compromise and How to Fight Racism

Interesting and helpful

I enjoyed hearing more about this “movement” and how different people came to feel about their experiences. It helped me to understand and appreciate the way I realized I was feeling too but had not been able to express.

Relatable

I felt like she was writing my story. And I’m so sorry that that’s probably true for thousands of people. I wish we weren’t so hurt by evangelicalism.

must read

This is probably the best book I have listened to recently regarding this subject. At times she hit so close to home for me it made me sick to my stomach. She brought up a lot of things I had forgotten I had also been through. If you're questioning everything and everyone around you, you're not alone. This book will help you see that Christian nationalism isn't actual Christianity. Some of these teachings are hurtful in multiple ways. She did an excellent job describing how strange some of the things we had to go through, read, and were taught as kids during private or home schooled christian school. Highly recommend.

Almost my exact life

The author has put into words exactly what it was like to be brought up in this culture, or I think cult. I’ve been quietly deconstructing for about 30 years, and still struggle daily with an anxiety that I can’t quite put into words, but that I know stems from the relentless feeling of doubt, of not feeling safe, that this indoctrination leaves us with. Those not raised this way struggle to understand. The author has given us words to describe it. Thank you.

She nailed it!

As the son of a Nazarene music minister and children’s pastor this book really reflected a lot of the feelings I’ve had for years. Thank you for writing this outstanding book!

Overcoming the Hurt of Church

Evangelicals is an honest and authentic look at the unforseen consequences of the dogmatic and unyielding church in America. This book will resonate with anyone who's ever been hurt by the church or be people purporting to be Christians. It is a wonderful exploration of what faith can be outside the restrictive and often suffocating confines of organized religion.
